Growing Positively

Forgiveness

Truly, I now understand
"When you forgive you grow
And when you let go, you heal"
Not everyone in this life would apologize to you for their wrong, not everyone would acknowledge their wrong and would care about you
You're angry with them
You have every right to be
But at some point you have to let it go
Letting go doesn't mean when next you see them, you must hug them and tell them things like how you were before this problem
That's acting like nothing ever happened
Like they never did anything wrong
But it's better to thrash it out and learn from the mistake
Act more wisely next time
Another thing, I can't be hurt by someone, then be the one to start the relationship again
Like, they apologized and then I forgave them
And they want us to be close again, they'll have to be the one to put more effort this time

Forgiveness has taken its full course when something triggers the problem that hurt and you are made to talk about it or remember it
Then you remember it having learnt the good and you barely feel the hurt
It's all a process
Sometimes, we just have to forgive some people but cut them off
It's not everyone that can have 20 friends for 20years
Some people are just not meant to be
These people just came to give you a lesson
Move on and enjoy the ones that are still around you, the blessings
It may be hard to let go of people who hurt you especially when they were close to you but you just have to in order to move on
You can still be holding on to someone you don't talk to anymore
So letting go doesn't mean when you don't talk to someone you used talk to
When you've let go of them and the hurt, you'll feel lighter
You'll feel peace

Now, letting go doesn't make you forget the situation
You'll remember it but wouldn't feel as hurt as when you were holding on
And if you're the one at fault
Do well to apologize
Don't act like you don't remember
Please apologize😘😘
