"Forgiveness is like throwing a party for someone who was born two hundred years ago. You do it for your own sake and not much for anyone else."

i'm having trouble forgiving somebody. this is something i normally save for my therapist, but my next scheduled crisis management is not for another week-and-a-half. my back-up plan for situations like these is to 1) call my father ("i should be talking to my therapist, but you know, you'll do") and 2) google it.

there's no greater therapy than the internet. it's cured me almost entirely of my need for social interaction. and my fear of porn stores.

some of my personal favorite google hits for forgiveness:
