say you love someone more than anything, and thinking about them helps you get through every day while you're stuck, say, on a haunted evil spaceship

and then they do something horrible to you

do you forgive it or do you move on? and if you move on what will you think about then?

[Oh, that's not good. When people ask things, it's always a sign.

Well...]

I'm probably not that helpful when it comes to forgiving... think it depends on a lot of things. if they're sorry about it, how serious it was, how much it hurt you...

one thing I know for sure: if youre not careful, holding onto all that will make moving on tough, yknow?

[Alex has a lot of people he hasn't forgiven. It's pretty hard to just... completely do that. It's sad because he'd forgiven... his dad? Some entity of his dad? Whatever. It meant jack shit in the end, when he realized every truth at the very end.]

[showbizpanache]

It was very serious. But I also feel like I'm somewhat to blame, you know? It's complicated

finding a new purpose is different for everyone.

[ it might be the last question but it's the easiest one to answer. the only one she can think about. she could be asking the network this herself, or wondering if someone thought this about her. it hits close to home, that's why she bothers. ]

do you still love them more than anything?

[showbizpanache]

yes

that's probably why this is so difficult.

depends on what they did? if they tried to say sorry, i would try, though.

[He's used to seeing guys with Brendan's face around, but that doesn't make the initial surprise go away.]

I know. I want to forgive them but it just hurts so much

and I have no way of talking to them

[ just voice this time. frodo thinks of many things to move on. sometimes it's just sam's words, the way he'd smile when they woke up from their last camp. the memory of gandalf's laugh, the smile on uncle bilbo's face, aragorn clasping his hands and telling him he would have gone to whatever end for him. he thinks of his friends, his dearest cousins, pippin and merry.

when shadows don't warp it in his mind, sometimes he thinks of the shire.

his voice sounds quieter than he intends. ]

It would be painful, but I would rather not have resentment buried deep in my heart. I don't believe I have room for it now.

[ he has so many other things unwanted in there. things he didn't have before. ]

There are times Kurt, when it is no grand thing we think of when we try to raise our spirits. Perhaps it's only a memory, or something you've missed--something you liked before but have not been able to touch again.

Sometimes things like that--can be almost more than we can bear.

voice for frodo!

[showbizpanache]

You have a lot to deal with, a lot resting on your shoulders. I don't blame you.

I know you think about The Shire. I guess I could find something to think about too-- You know, a thing instead of a person, right? Things can't hurt you.

you should forgive them if they're sorry

[Having been the fuckup who's ruined a perfectly good relationship before, Tommy may be projecting a little-- well, a lot.]

[showbizpanache]

I don't know if I can

[theyalldieforme]

[JOHN MAY IN FACT BE STALKING YOU A LITTLE. JUST A LITTLE.]

I don't know if it's that easy.

[showbizpanache]

[OH HELLO JOHN.]

It--it isn't. It's anything but easy.

[shoyu]

[ no idea what's going on, but gosh this sounds serious. ]

Would it not depend on whether the person wishes to be forgiven? If the 'horrible thing' was done with malicious intent, then forgiveness may not even be something on their mind.

[showbizpanache]

I don't think this person would ever do something to willingly hurt me. Not ever

that's why this is so confusing.

no dice
move on your a stronger person because of it

[showbizpanache]

I just wonder how long it'll take.

[mutelunatic]

move on.

more important things.

[showbizpanache]

Yes of course. It's silly to think about relationship drama in a place like this.

[constructum]

You can forgive, but you don't have to forget.

[showbizpanache]

I don't think I could forget this if i tried.

[showbizpanache]

Ice cream sounds wonderful.

Well... that depends. How horrible are we talking about, here?

You do whatever you have to in order to keep going.
Don't do anything too rash.

[showbizpanache]

I promise I won't.

It's just that getting through each day here has gotten a lot more difficult

[meddler]

It really depends what it is.

[ trying to enslave the universe? possible dealbreaker but not always. ]

[showbizpanache]

they did something awful behind my back. betrayed my trust.

[mansuetus]

del vario stile in ch'io piango et ragiono
fra le vane speranze e 'l van dolore,
ove sia chi per prova intenda amore,
spero trovar pietà, nonché perdono.

[ she will offer a translation, too. ]

I hope to find pity, and forgiveness,
for all the modes in which I talk and weep,
between vain hope and vain sadness,
in those who understand love through its trials.

Do you think the one we speak of would relate Petrarca's plea? If they do not seek forgiveness, you cannot offer it.

[showbizpanache]

That's very pretty.

[ usually he'd skim over a post like this BUT he remembers kurt's number from the other day when they talked over mike's post. so! have a text. ]

Maybe you should take the chance to stop using someone else as an anchor.

[ a moment later and he reads it over-- oh ]

Wait, that sounds pretty cold. I didn't mean it like that. Sorry.

[showbizpanache]

No you're right. But as you can probably imagine, turning off feelings is rather difficult.

[text]

[andyouwill]

Hatred and anger can sustain the will through hardship quite as well as affection.

But if you are of a forgiving temperament, think of their folly and then find something or someone better of which, or whom, to think.

[showbizpanache]

I could never feel hatred toward this person. not in a million years.

[skindeep]

Forgive it for yourself, whether you move on or not.

I'm sorry; I'm not sure I follow.

It depends on what they did.
