Throughout our lives, we have made many mistakes, intentional or not. In our lifetime, we ask for apologies, in person or not. Apologies are important. But life isn’t always graceful. Often, we can’t accept or give apologies in person, and we only have our best intentions. Our intentions, though only in mind, are also energy. Energy travels, and one day, we feel like our prayers are being heard. I hope that those I have wronged forgive me. I also have forgiven those who have wronged me (most of them, anyway). 

Forgiveness is an important key to surrender and growth. That said, I find it easier to let go. An apology isn’t always sincere; it often carries the energies of guilt, victimisation, and fears and clouds true intentions. But the genius here is the aspect we call time. Time heals all wounds, and allowing ourselves to heal will enable others to do the same. Besides, if your relations are meant to be, you will be reunited again. That is how the universe works. Each one of us is a part of a bigger matrix, and some of that matrix can not be broken no matter what. The other thing about time is that everything will eventually be revealed. Some people turn out to be fakes, opportunists, or opposites. That is the beauty of time. It is revelatory. Time has been my ally in digging for the more profound truth. 

How do I know when someone who has wronged me tells the truth? From their energy, intent, manners of speaking, and timing. When any of this feels out of place or doesn’t sit right with me, I choose to walk away. I let time seep in and take reign. Trusting time has worked magic for me. Time is my genius. Some friendships and relationships are meant to last; even if it takes months, years, or lifetimes, things will be all right again.
