YOU EVER BEEN THROUGH SOME THINGS?

You ever been through some things and had some things happen and gotten over and past those things? We all have, right? But, have you ever had those same things that you got over, have the nerve to try to come back and make nice and play nice with you, like nothing ever happened? And you just look at those things that happened to you and that you got over and think to yourself . . . am I dreaming? Did not these things try to take me out and mess me up? Am I in the twilight zone right now?

Did you ever look at those things that happened to you and that you got over, and not feel anything? I mean absolutely feel nothing? Like not one thing? No anger. No sadness. No caring. No bitterness. No hatred. No regrets. No nothing. Absolutely nothing? It is the bestest feeling in the world!

Remember when you wanted apologies from those things, that did those things, that happened to you? You wanted acknowledgments of wrong doings and “I feel so bad for making you feel so bad” proclamations and fess ups? What about when all you could think about were those wrong things that were done to you and the wrong doers that did those wrong things. They never even fessed up to doing any wrongness, did they? They never gave you a first, second or third glance backwards, did they?

Do you recall how you waited and prayed for the day your day of reckoning would come, longing to hear the groveling sorrys and sorrows as they poured out of the mouths of wrong doers, giving you the closure you so needed to move on and carry on? And you waited and waited . . . but none came. Nothing showed up.

Fast forward two, four, six years or so.

You don’t even need those apologies anymore, do you? You already got your closure, didn’t you? You got up and wiped up and manned up and moved on. You no longer dwell on the wrongness and the wrongdoers. You look right past them now. You walk with your head high. You couldn’t care less. And why should you? You’re conscience is clear. God saw all. He knows all. You’re not forgotten. You’re good.
