I should be asleep but I'm thinking about forgiveness.
I had a friend on college who emotionally abused me terribly. She would be so lovely and kind and then devastatingly cruel. She was nice in public, and nice SOMETIMES in private. And every now and then she'd do something that devastated me.

(In between dipping in and out, being that I'm about to start the rest of my day. But I want to check back on this when I have a chance.)
She did apologize. Publicly. In a group email to everyone that did not elactually elaborate on what she was apologizing for.
It wasn't good enough and it took me years to understand.
Honestly the best indication that I have that she's a better person is she hasn't bothered me.
I try not to think about her much, which is the closest thing to letting go that I can do.
Because especially if the circle of her life touches mine, at all, forgetting what has happened is to let it happen again.
