You've only got ONE who will or can truly forgive that you need to address. First, prayer of gratitude, then the true process of understanding the harms one has inflicted and gut wrenching remorse for having done them and then repeat. He'll let you know when you can move onto bigger glories. You get to throw in a few other things you wish and hope for here and there but if you don't feel it, don't bother. I wish you the best on the most important journey one will ever get the privilege to take if they are lucky enough to connect to their divine creator and want their beautiful, god given soul restored. It's heaven on earth Hugo. It's the ego that will try to prevent it.

In MLB, a batting average of .300 is considered excellent, .400 hasn’t been achieved in 75 years, and .500 (50% of the time you actually connect) is considered impossible. Just count your lucky stars you’re not batting zero.

This resonates with me on several levels. I only have 1 ex who refuses to speak to me and only lost 1 friend when I came out. I have 1 cousin, my age, whom I have many things in common with. We are largely estranged due to issues our respective parents had as children. I am blessed with so many close friends and family members. Yet, at times I grieve for those "1s" I don't have in my life. I have left the door open to them. By leaving doors open, you never know you may want to walk through. If not, so be it.
