"everyone says forgiveness is a lovely idea, until they have something to forgive" - C.S. Lewis
Oh C.S.Lewis. Your quotes always annoy the heck out of me on some levels, because as soon as I read them the introspection starts and I find something new I need to fix to become more like Jesus.
THANKS.
Pretend sarcasm time over: Oh wow. It's so true. If you know me or my blog, you know that my life is based around friendships [pretty much. God and tattoos/art as well, but we're not talking about that right now, so stop distracting me! Rude], and that I recently "broke up" with one of my friends:

And you know what?
I've been angry.
True life: we were more than friends over a year and a half ago, but then we went back to being best friends. So the "break up" was also me wondering who the heck I had been so in love with, because I never stopped loving. No wonder the friendship didn't work (there's many other reasons).
Anger at myself.
Anger at them.
Anger alllllll around.
But in this trying time with everything else going on, I'm finding the anger leaking out. Not spilling out onto other people, thank the Lord, but leaking out because there's no room for it.
Forgiveness is happening.
