Life Is Strange Sometimes

[SeaShells21]

Having all the ammo in the world aimed at someone who has wronged you and choosing not to pull the trigger is . . . ?

My mind says Insanity but my heart says . . . 

“My sweet girl, I see the pain in your eyes, and I know it feels like the weight of what they’ve done is too much to carry. You feel it in your chest, that fire, that need to strike back, to make them feel just a fraction of what they’ve made you feel. And no one could blame you for that. But listen to me, darling, because I’ve lived long enough to know this: real strength, the kind that makes you unshakable, isn’t in fighting back—it’s in the choice to hold that power in your hands and let it go. That’s not weakness; it’s courage, the kind most people will never find.

When you choose not to let their actions define you, you’re saying, ‘I am more than the hurt they tried to leave behind.’ And, oh, my love, you are so much more. You have a heart that shines brighter than they could ever dim, and in walking away, in choosing peace instead of revenge, you prove that their cruelty has no hold over you. That is where your true power lies.

It doesn’t mean the pain disappears overnight, and it doesn’t mean what they did was right. But by letting go, by rising above, you take back what they tried to steal—your joy, your kindness, your light. And when you walk forward with your head held high, the world will see not just a girl who endured, but a girl who triumphed. And you’ll inspire others, darling, not just to survive but to do so with grace, proving that strength doesn’t need to shout—it simply shines.”

Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.
