Days go by the they do the moe I still think about Zack every second of every minute I miss him I love that man but at the same time I don't want to be hurt again

Shawn Zack best friend wanted to talk to me I don't know why but I'll see what's he wakes from ms

Shawn sat down with me , knowing how difficult the situation was for me . He understood my pain and the struggle I was going through. With a gentle and understanding tone, he tried to share his perspective.

"Lauren, I know forgiveness is not easy, especially after everything you've been through. But holding onto anger and resentment will only weigh you down," Shawn said.

I looked at him, her eyes still reflecting the hurt I felt. "I can't just forget what he did, Shawn. It's not that simple."

"I understand," Shawn replied. "Forgiveness doesn't mean forgetting or condoning what happened. It's about letting go of the negative emotions and finding peace within yourself."

"But how can I forgive someone who lied to me and kept such a big secret?" I questioned, my voice trembling.

"It takes time," Shawn said gently. "And it's a process. But forgiving someone doesn't mean you have to trust them immediately or reconcile right away. It's about acknowledging the pain, allowing yourself to feel it, and then choosing to move forward."

I sighed, feeling torn. "I don't know if I can ever trust him again. It's like he broke something inside of me."

Shawn nodded. "It's okay to feel that way. Trust is something that needs to be earned. If Zack truly loves you and is committed to making things right, he will understand that it will take time for you to heal and rebuild that trust."

"But what if I can't get past this?" Lauren asked, her voice filled with uncertainty.

"You don't have to decide everything right now," Shawn reassured her. "Take the time you need to process your feelings. You deserve to prioritize your own well-being and happiness."

As the days went on, I continued to grapple with my emotions and the decision she needed to make. I knew that forgiving Zack wouldn't be easy, but deep down, I still cared for him.

In the midst of the turmoil, I found solace in my music. Each song became an outlet for my emotions, a way to express my pain and my hopes for the future.

Time passed, and Zack respected my need for space. He understood that he had hurt me deeply, and he was willing to give mf the time I needed.

In the quiet moments of reflection, I started to see that forgiveness didn't mean condoning Zack's actions or forgetting what had happened. It meant releasing the hold that anger and resentment had on my heart, allowing myself to heal, and embracing the possibility of a different future.

One day, as the sun set over the horizon, I sat alone on the beach, feeling the gentle breeze on my face. In that moment, l made a decision - I chose to let go of the pain and bitterness and open myself up to the possibility of forgiveness.

It wouldn't be an overnight transformation, but I was willing to take the first step toward healing. As I took a deep breath, I felt a glimmer of hope that maybe, just maybe, forgiveness could lead to a new beginning for both me and Zack.

I'm happy I came it's good to get another person advice but this might be too late t maybe be but it feels. Like it s t me
