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?
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
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.
Write your diary as if it were the biography of an icon. Detailing every single thing possible, even without checking for grammar mistakes, just let it go, stick to the emotion and let the pen almost write on its own.
