D-d-d-d-d-d-RAMA!

I have been called a friend, trustworthy, good-looking, good listener, honest, compassionate, dedicated, responsible, and a list of other positive qualities.  I'm not saying I'm perfect or that everyone should love me.  I mean, by all means, feel free to not like me.  But never in my life have I been called disrespectful and inconsiderate.  Well, at least not to my recollection.  

So you can imagine when my roommate decided she wanted to be upset with me (yes, being angry is a decision) and threw every bad quality I had in my face with a 10,000 times amplification, I was thrown off and hurt.  I now saw myself as this person that takes advantage of those around her and doesn't put forth any effort to better relationships.  For an entire day I thought about these things, and finally came to realize that most of what was said was out of anger and blown way out of proportion.  

However, it still hurts.  And to see that now she is ok with what I was doing? I am trying really hard to choose not to be mad, but it's difficult.

Come to find out she wants to come talk to me and apologize to me for making me feel like a child unworthy of her presence.  Do I have to accept?  Apologies take work, so I should.  Especially coming from her.   But what if I still need time to forgive?

I saw Madea goes to Jail last night.  Madea was up to her usual antics and had me laughing by the end of her first line.  And as with all of her (his I guess, Tyler Perry's) movies, there is an underlying message.  This one was about forgiveness.  They talked about how forgiveness is for us, not the other person because until we can forgive them, we are holding onto anger.  They will go on with their lives and we are stuck in the past.

So, the answer is yes.  Let it go.  Petty fights just make your hair fall out. Or turn gray. ah! 

Hallelu'r!

Anywho, I must be off to my hair appointment!

Megan, my hero.
