Even the cosmos know it...

The heavens (via astrology) are trying to instill me with a forgiving, benevolent heart.

"After doing your best to hold a grudge -- something you've never been any good at (note from me: it's true... I run out of steam after about a month or two) -- the peaceful mood the heavens are in will talk you out of it, even if a friend did something that feels like absolute treason to you. You'll wake up feeling compassionate, and ready, finally, perhaps, to accept the apology. Still, while forgiving is a good idea, don't feel bad if you're not quite able to forget. It's called wisdom, and it comes with experience. Sorry if this wasn't a pleasant one, but learn from it."

In keeping with this spirit, I've removed the filters preventing a small number of people from reaching me. For now, anyway.

I already feel saturated with the spirit of forgiveness.

Of course, why should I expect anyone to really give a shit? I burn bridges knowing full well what I do as I pour the gasoline.
