What happened to forgiveness?

My inspirations for blog posts have gone missing lately. However, there are random times like today when something just hits me in the face. 
In the past year, my relationships with certain people have been on roller coasters. Whether it be disagreements, misspoken words, deliberate actions, or other things . . .
It is plain to see that relationships in general take a lot of effort to make last. I consider myself a very forgiving person. When someone does something that hurts me, I tend to forgive that person as long as that person is legitimately sorry. 
I won't go into names or details, but I feel as though I forgive others, but others do not forgive me for the mistakes I have made. I never looked at it like that until today AND it is really bugging me. I don't understand why I can regret something and try to make up for whatever I screwed up, but never be forgiven. I would like to say I just need to move on and that it is their problem. However if someone doesn't forgive me, I tend to hold on to a terrible feeling in the pit of my stomach. I can't quite explain it. It makes me hold onto my regrets for a long time, if not forever. I say that because I cannot think of something that I was able to let go of in a situation like this. Who knows, maybe I am meant to suffer longer for the mistakes I make. 

Hope everyone is doing well. I apologize if I haven't kept in touch with some of you.
