How to Forgive a Friend:

You're suppose to forgive and forget, right? Then why is it so hard?!? Our friends, we love them and they mean a lot to us. What happens when they mess up? "Accidentally" talk to your ex boyfriend, say something rude to you, or hates a new friend of yours. It's hard to get over the fact that our friends aren't perfect and sometimes they slip up on us. We love them one minute, and they next we hate them. So I've created a 3 Step process on how to forgive your friend if they've said sorry. 

1. "You have to make sure it's actually okay before you say okay." 

Don't, say, "Oh, that's okay." If things aren't okay to you. If you lie and accept their apology half way, you're just going to be mad at them again in a few days. Before you go on accepting make sure in your sweet little heart of yours, that you have no resentment. If there is some in there, just say, "Hey, I do want to forgive you. I'm just not ready yet. I still have some resentment going on, but I will forgive you when I'm ready." If they've already apologized to you, chances are they'd understand since they were in the wrong. 

2. "Don't wait or ask for an apology." 

Don't ask. Don't wait. Asking for an apology shows that you are arrogant enough to point out when others are wrong. This will only infuriate your friend. Waiting around forever for an, "I'm sorry" will only make you miserable. Every time you talk to that person you will be waiting for them to say it. Maybe they don't even know they did something wrong to you. Maybe they never say sorry. Just because someone doesn't apologize, doesn't mean you can't forgive them from within. 

3." Be patient with them and yourself."

You have to first be patient with them when they've done you wrong. Then, you have to be patient on yourself to accept when you are ready.
