I've been trying to get down to the heart of the matter, but my will gets weak, and my thoughts seem to scatter...

...But I think it's about forgiveness,

Forgiveness."

-India Arie

Ola, chicas! Happy December!

I cannot describe this feeling of relief . That moment of clarity when I realised all my anger had vanished, gone without a trace; there wasn't even any left behind to let go of, and I could just forgive. It felt so good!

"You might understand the intellectual concept of forgiveness, but you will only learn how to truly forgive when someone has done something that requires you to love them and let it go."

-Jackson Kiddard

The Boy told me the truest thing: "You have to forgive me, or it's not going to work." Let your love be stronger than your resentment, honeybuns. Realise you want to hold onto the person who really matters more than you do your wounded pride or your hurt.

"The only way out of the labyrinth of suffering is to forgive."

-John Green

And staying means you have to forgive.

It's December, darlings! Christmas time again. Time for long walks wrapped up warm against the snow, for snuggling by the bonfire, for hot chocolate and presents under the tree. Time for a fresh start, and to fall in love all over again.

Love, marshmallows and gingerbread house kits xx
