Forgiveness
Lately I've been dealing with the dilemma of forgiving people for events that happened in the past. It's the most empowering thing to be able to forgive someone. But how can we forget what happened? I really wish that it was so simple to move on in a way, I'm just not sure how to yet. If anyone has some good advice, send it my way!

It can be difficult to forgive and some things are not easy to forgive, however, you can look at things from the other side. Have you done something to a friend that you would like to undo, either a word or action? We all do, sometimes even daily, in my case. So, we are not perfect and we may ask to be forgiven, or we may choose to forget our transgression and hope the other does as well. But when you do forgive you are then able to move on and no longer carry that burden, which may allow you to sleep better, feel better etc. Also, for the person you forgive, if you tell them you forgive them it may also help them to move on since they may be carring some guilt for what they have done, or it may help them understand their own behaviour and may change, keep in mind that this is not true for males aged 15 - ?. ha ha. Also, sometimes you can talk to someone else about your feelings and they may be able to help you forgive. Good luck and let me know how it goes! Looking forward to hearing about your traveling school.
