I Write From The Heart

Today my heart is of stone
My molester as a child had a heart attack today,. I didn't know if I should care if he lives or dies, after all he ruined my life, I forgave him some years back for what he had done. I don't think that means I could just forget about it, after all it haunts me almost every night, and there's things that bring it to mind when I'm awake, a sound, smell or something like that. I guess down deep in the depths of my heart I care about it but I've yet to bring it to the top. I don't feel bad about him suffering though. He is my brother and I should love him, I just can't find it in me at the moment. I guess I'm writing this to get it out of me before I go crazy. Anyways if you read it thank you.

I've felt your pain Bro...

Forgiveness is almost mandatory to your own peace of mind but no one ever said you need to forget. Repressing bad memories doesn't actually make them any better.

I wish you well Rick 馃
