I think one of the hardest things to do in life is forgive. People get so angry or upset at something or someone that they have a very difficult time forgiving them and hold grudges. When I come across a conflict or some sort of difficulty I try to forgive and forget. It was way easier said than done though. Currently I am not having trouble with forgiving anyone but there have been times in the past where it has been difficult for me. My freshman year of college, one of my roommates had “borrowed” a pair of shorts from me. He did not ask me if he could wear them but if he did I would have said yes without hesitation. I saw him wearing my shorts one day and I asked if those were mine. The first thing he said was “no.” I believed him because I did not know if he had the same pair. The next day I went to my dresser to wear those shorts and they were not there. I put two and two together and realized my roommate was wearing them the day before. I confronted him and then he admitted to “borrowing” them, even though he didn’t ask. I found it very hard to trust him from then on. We were still friends but I made sure to keep an eye on him at all times. It is hard to live with someone you don’t fully trust. Although I am still friends with the kid I do not fully trust him and I don’t think I ever will.
