When a friend hurts you

this is hard, cuz i can forgive, but it's so hard to forget, i need to learn to let go of things. and if they're really friends we'd hook back up you know? one girl i haven't spoken to in years, not even sure what caused our fall out, and she's always writing my mom and inviting her to events, but i don't want to go and be like HI, I'M BACK! but then i wonder if she's doing these things...to GET me to come see her? so then i'm irritated thinking like that! sad. people come in and out of your life for reasons...some i've had to just let go.

It really depends on how close the friend was in the first place, & what event occurred to cause the hurt. If it was a long time friend, if she apologised I would accept this. I may even make a move first to restore friendship.

Hello.It really depends on what it is to forgive but i always forgive my friends after a while of thinking and the steam has blowed away.I had a friend who slept with a guy i was dating(forgave her because he was a louse my boyfriend),a friend who spread bad untrue rumours about me(never truly forgave but do talk to each other still some),and so on.I have a tender heart and do not like people who are mad at me also.I will always(most of the time)who puts the hand out first even when its not my fault.I beleive in forgiveness,life is too short to live with grudges in your life.
