Make It Up?

All the years I have waited for them to “make it up to me” and all the energy I expended trying to make them change [or make them pay] kept the old wounds from healing and gave pain from the past free rein to shape and even damage my life. And still they may not have changed. Nothing I have done has made them change. Indeed, they may never change. Inner peace is found by changing myself, not the people who hurt me. And I change myself for myself, for the joy, serenity, peace of mind, understanding, compassion, laughter, and bright future that I get.
