So many times after someone has hurt us, we hold on to that hurt. Unfortunately it tends to eat many of us up inside. Many people become bitter while others take up addictions to cover the pain. What many people do not understand is that they have lost their power. When we hold on to hurt, that person that victimized us continues to hurt us. They also retain power and control over us because we can not let go of that pain.
I can say that it is not easy to let hurt go. It will take one day at a time. Each day, you will get closer to feeling better.
