I have been best friends with her for 30 yrs. I am never going to make her change, all I can do is enjoy her company without judging her. There is a Negative Nellie in my life.

This story is so on point! I have made it a personal mandate not to waste any of the precious time God has given me hanging around negative people. They are simply a drain, just like you experienced with your friend. They are so into their own blame game that they can't see their part in their own problems, and they never have the time to listen to how your day went. Life is too short and filled with challenges to give these parasites the time of day!

It is so very true and I wish that more women and men would learn this and pass it on to their children. I've written about this very issue in my newest novel: Not Quite What It Seems. I write that forgiving someone is not the same as saying what they did to you is okay. It's allowing you to take back the power that unforgiveness and the person who perpetrated the hurt on you have stolen. Love you, Kim. I'm still repeating my favorite line from IN LIVING COLOR today: "Bet not nobody talk about my Ms..." HAHAHAHA! Funny stuff! Hi Kim,

At 39 she got her Masters degree and found a man to marry. At 40 she had the baby she always wanted. She has a good job, a man who adores her, a beautiful son, and you would think the world was out to get her. Try to tell her how lucky she is but she just doesn't get it. Hi Kim,

"Yesterday" should never be allowed to use up too much of today. And there is truly a releasing power in forgiveness. People like “Negative Nelly” have usually become psychotic to the point that their negativity isn't really a conscious choice anymore. Pride, anger and despair keep bringing them slow death as their souls are withering, though their bodies are alive. But for others who are heading in “Negative Nelly's” direction, messages like yours can become what saves them from their terminal velocity.

My father died two years ago and the biggest lesson I learned from him was love life because when death calls you want to be able to look back and say it was a good ride. Sometimes bad things are the only things that make a person grow into the best version of themselves.

I had a good LOL at "the edges of her press-n-curl nap up from the cold sweat". Oh lawd, I can just imagine Nelly. I think we all have at least one of those ppl in our lives. It could be a relative, friend or co-worker. I couldn't agree with you more about the fact that forgiving is a selfish act. A person does need to think about how keeping all those toxic emotions will deteriorate ones healthy, body and soul. Sadly, some people will never get it and will forever hold onto the very thing that is killing them and then wonder why they are consumed by bad karma. Great post! Yes! I love that poem too.

I am in that same position, having a hard time letting go of the past which consumes my mind with negativity and the struggle to let go. Pain is a funny thing. Some are able to move on and continue smiling. Some pretend they have let it go but it's still inside torturing their heart that was once beautiful as the sunshine. Hopefully she will get it together. I do feel for Nelly. I am in that same position, having a hard time letting go of the past which consumes my mind with negativity and the struggle to let go.
