Really, this story is feeding me with so much love and affection. I can relate to, the objective reality of being surrounded by loving people yet feeling subjectively estranged to them.
Forgiveness isn't about forgetting or dismissing the facts. It doesn't mean saying, 'I'm okay with what happened.' Instead, it signifies acknowledging someone's genuine efforts to change. Forgiving doesn't downplay the pain you've endured; rather, it reflects your decision to find closure and move forward with those feelings.
- Forgiveness isn't about erasing memories or pretending something didn’t happen. It's about consciously deciding to let go of resentment or anger. - Forgiving someone doesn’t mean the pain they caused is forgotten or that it was justified. It’s a way of acknowledging the hurt while choosing not to let it define you. - Forgiveness often involves recognizing the other person's efforts to make amends or change, but it doesn’t require condoning past actions. - Forgiveness can be a way of finding personal peace, allowing you to move forward without being weighed down by past wrongs.
It may take years or even decades, but I truly hope that one day she can forgive them. More importantly, I hope they eventually earn and deserve her forgiveness. Holding onto resentment for a lifetime is far more exhausting than it seems, and finding peace is worth the journey. It's especially damaging at a young age because children are still developing emotionally, and they can easily become overwhelmed by complex feelings. Without proper guidance, these emotions can fester, consuming you from within and leaving you with an empty, distorted view of the world.
She shouldn’t forgive them for their sake, but for her own peace of mind. After all, deep down, she does feel guilty about rejecting their affection. Forgiveness isn't about letting them off the hook—it's about freeing herself from the burden of unresolved guilt and finding peace within.
