Forgiveness is one of the most powerful tools we have on our healing journey. It is not about condoning the actions that hurt us but about freeing ourselves from the burden of anger and resentment.
I remember the moment I decided to forgive my younger self. It was not an easy decision, nor was it an immediate one. It took years of struggling with guilt and shame before I realized that forgiveness was the key to my healing. It took years of hard work and therapy from my red headed angel.
Forgiving ourselves and others is an act of self-love. It allows us to move forward, unburdened by the pain of the past. It’s important to remember that forgiveness is a process, one that requires patience and compassion. There will be days when the weight of the past feels overwhelming. I have these days often. I just sit with it and feel all the emotions. There used to be a time where I would just sit in it for days or weeks. I’m learning to get up now, dust myself off and keep moving forward.
If you are struggling with forgiveness, know that you are not alone. Take it one step at a time, and allow yourself the grace to heal. Remember, the journey towards forgiveness is a personal one, and there is no right or wrong way to go about it.
