Gratitude

[PrttyBrd]

How do you say Thank You when the words are plainly inadequate, when someone or something has had an effect so profound that your soul is touched? It is the example of others that teaches what words cannot. Good people being who they are, so generous and kind. Lessons are learned unnoticed. Other people's consequences are also lessons learned. People, by nature, are fallible beings. That being said, it is truly inspiring to see what you aspire to be, to be faced with the realization that nothing is impossible regardless of how it may seem, to see that adversity doesn't only breed contempt.There is something to be said for those who can truly forgive. That is the most difficult of things. It is much easier to hold on to the hurt than it is to just let it go, easier to overanalyse than let it be. The grip just cannot be loosened without forgiveness, and the road to forgiveness is never a stroll in the park. It can be just as arduous as whatever it is that needs to be forgiven. Finally seeing the possibility as a reality is quite profound. In theory, it seemed impossible, at least to me. But not so much, not anymore. I can feel the weight slightly lifted from my shoulders. There is now hope to be free from this burden that I have born for so long. For that glimmer of hope, the hope that one day it will finally be far behind, I say Thank You. It is still just not enough.
