Letting Go of the Past

I'm still learning how to let go of the past. As I sit here tired and talking to a close friend about peers and faculty from high school, I can't help but feel some of my old hurts and resentments come to the surface. In my mind some people are beyond redemption, though I know that's silliness on my part. I'd like to say that telling a few people off for their past offenses would make me feel better, but I know deep down that it wouldn't. I'll still seethe and rage against them in my moments of regression and only feed them my precious energy. The worst part is that they're not giving an ounce of their energy to me. So tonightas I meditate and journal I'll ask specifically for the power and ability to let go, to forgive to live in the present and dream of the future and to let go of all the past wrongs committed by me and by others. I wish to be free from these emotional shackles.
