My MSN Messenger nick says: "Set free".
I spoke to this friend, actually we were in a relationship before, that was many many years ago, i think it was about 7 years ago. She left church because of me. Since that time, I never got attached. Although my reason was because I choose to fulfill my singlehood vow, and i felt that i was still not ready. But i guess deep down inside, i felt bad for breaking her heart. It took her about 5 years before she talked to me again. It was only when I told her the main reason why I broke up with her, and I affirm that i did have feelings for her at that time, and she is not the only one who felt hurt from the relationship, but I too was hurt and guilty for breaking her heart. That was when she forgave me fully. But I never asked her directly for forgiveness. So all along it was something that was unresolved in my heart, which is to ask her verbally for forgiveness, and her blessing over my future relationship. (I sound funny here, haha). Anyway I finally had the chance to ask her a few days ago. Praise God that she has fully forgiven me. I think all girls will agree that it takes a girl a long time to fully forgive and forget something wrong that you have done against them. Girls forgive in installment... They can forgive you but will take a long time to forget. Well, i learned it the hard way a few times. So never repeat this mistake. That is why my nick is "set free"
