Rec | BEING GROWN (SPOILER ITS HARD)

✴️

Forgiveness is hard. Not everyone deserves it but I at least try be more empathetic. I won’t forgive but I will give empathy (only if they deserve it, some mfs deserve to rot). Also I have found if I’m not ready to forgive I’m still hurting.

YOU CAN FORGIVE PEOPLE AND STILL HAVE BOUNDARIES, EVEN INCLUDING NOT BEING IN THEIR LIFE ANYMORE

i am still learning this. i try to be an extremely forgiving person (sometimes i struggle); it’s a huge value for me and i don’t want to give that up but i’m still learning how to balance it with boundaries and distance when i need those because i have sometimes been too lax! i keep reminding myself that it’s possible to forgive someone from afar and acknowledge my own feelings/pain even when i understand their situation was not ideal

Gotta pick anD choose your battles here

i have been in situations where it felt like i needed to be the better person for others to think im not hurt. times when i needed to be around people who hurt me really bad in life. what i learned from that is, some people will never do you dirty again. others will 😂 and when i catch who will hurt me again, i keep them at a distance and don’t invest energy into maintaining anything. forgiveness should not be guaranteed, and its difficult to have people come in your ear to say you need to forgive in order to move on. no you need ti just set boundaries around people who hurt you and move forward with it. there are so many people back in my college days where mutually things were so bad. will i apologize and forgive them? probably not ill just distance myself from those people and they become an afterthought.

FORGIVENESS

It’s easier said than done but forgiveness is key to accepting someone else’s flawed humanity and in turn recognising and accepting your own. There’s a feeling of serenity that comes with letting go of things that have already happened. We only ever truly have this moment anyway. Why are you here?
