Day 4- Something you need to forgive someone for. A boy in high school was mean to me, and not just calling me ugly mean, but really really mean. I've thought about this for the last 12 years...
Dear Cash,
Hi, I'm sure you don't remember this day as well as me, but it changed the way I looked at people and felt about people. We were in the downstairs hallway between classes and you yelled at me from the other end of the hallway to wait up. When we got closer you said to me "You need to have an abortion. Or you are gonna F up Disneys life". You were one of the nicest guys I knew and I thought that we were friends. But apparently I was wrong. I cried for a long time over that, and when I think about it too much I can picture us in that hallway and I still tear up (like now). It really hurt my feelings, especially since it was really none of your business. Well, fast forward 12 years and I have a beautiful 11 year old girl, have been married to her father for 7 1/2 years now, we have two more great kids and we just bought our first home. I don't think I F'ed up Disney's life. I am pretty sure I made it better.
But you know, we were young. I made alot of mistakes during that time and I need to let go of this weight. I want to look back on high school and smile, not be sad. So, I forgive you for being mean to me. I know that if you could see the future you wouldn't have said it. I heard you are a counselor and have a little boy of your own now, I hope that you are doing well.
-Meg
