you're just somebody that i used to know

isn't it weird how people you knew become people you used to know?

like this guy that i went to school with-- we had classes together but we weren't really friends.  i mean, maybe we were friends in that kind of outside the lines kind of way.....

anyway- years after highschool-- after college even-- we reconnected and dated briefly but it didn't work out.  i was a pretty little tragedy at that point and ended things face to face taking full responsibilty for why the relationship had run it's course.

that was then.

now he keeps coming up on my fbp under "people you may know" so i sent him a friend request.  why not, right?  we indeed know each other.....but he did not accept.  did this make me feel bad?  honestly, not really- but it did make me question why somebody i knew, became somebody that i used to know.

it is so easy to pass judgement, to not agree with someone's decisions/actions, to believe that we could have or would have done things differently.  but what if we all see each other with compassion and know that everybody is exactly where they need to be on their journey.  that they are doing the best that they can at that moment and that who and where they are is divinely perfect.  that's love.

love: that's where it's at.  and that's the lesson in forgiveness for today.  check out that miracle.
