Rec'd on 🪙 how to find forgiveness
YOU'RE gaining nothing by not forgiving
some people do things that are truly unforgivable and only time will heal the pain that those things caused because with time comes memory loss. for the petty things, they usually don’t know or care that they’re not forgiven and holding onto the thing they did only hurts you because you’re reliving what they did and they probably aren’t. i’ve forgiven a lot of people for shitty things they’ve done, that doesn’t mean i’ll ever speak to them again. forgiving isn’t always making up with the person, it’s making mental peace with the issue.

This 👆Forgiveness is about setting down the anger/hurt in order to make your load lighter and make it easier to move forward.

@YLIANNA ah i’m so glad ur so welcome, really funny u posted the ask bc i was literally talking about forgiveness with my friend yesterday, she said there’s loads of people she hasn’t forgiven and i couldn’t think of anyone i hadn’t, it’s such a misconception that we must be friends with the people we forgive and it’s all about making up. it isn’t !! <33

forgiveness is as much an act for yourself as it is for the person you‘re forgiving
first things first: u never have to forgive someone if u don’t want to. sometimes there is no reason to not move on from a situation, but that’s still your right. you should take all the time u need to make peace with urself and what happened. my dad once told me that the worst thing you can do to urself is to wish someone else ill will. giving ur energy and thoughts to a situation or person in a way that doesn’t help you process what happened, but only serves to make u upset, is a disservice to urself and ur time. u deserve to be happy and u deserve peace. look of it as a way of letting go of the negative thoughts and emotions that that situation causes u. forgiving someone doesn’t necessarily mean ur justifying what they did, but instead respecting ur right to be happy. u can forgive someone and still not continue that relationship with them. seeing forgiveness as a way to allow urself to grow past a situation and not define urself by it, instead of as a mandatory ritual after someone has wronged you, has helped me to move past people and situations that have hurt me and kept me from growing.

LETTING GO
I’m not advocating for taking everything lying down, to never speak your mind if you need to. But if you can… Sometimes it’s best to move on and let it be. It’s no use staying angry forever, that leaves you bitter and resentful. Forgiveness feels good.

USING TEXT AS THE ONLY FORM OF COMMUNICATION WITH A LOVE INTEREST
No I don’t want your socials. I don’t want to know when you’re active and not replying, I don’t want to know when you’re posting stories or who you’re following. I don’t wanna know. Tell me in person, when we go on a date. I want you at complete face value with zero pre conceptions.
