like hard yesterdays broken sails, like clouds, fly me home

I had an interesting discussion with a friend the other day about forgiveness and came to realize that I am the person I am because of EVERYONE who has entered my life. I can’t just thank the people who were friends, who loved me unconditionally, who gave me courage, hope and inspiration.

I must also give credit to those who betrayed me, made me feel “less than,” abused me, broke promises, used me, lied to me. It is they who brought out my survival skills, my inner strengths, who made me focus and take charge of my happiness.

You may or may not know who you are. You may have been in my life for a long time or been oblivious to the fact that I even existed. Surviving those hard yesterdays made me stronger, more vital, and put me on the path to who I am and who I am becoming. And the broken sails – all those unkept promises meant to lift me up but instead left me to drown – like clouds, fly me home.

I forgive you, and I thank you.
