Forgiveness is one of the most misunderstood acts of self-love.We often think it means pretending the pain never happened, or worse — inviting the same person back to repeat it.
But real forgiveness draws a clear line:
It says, “What you did was wrong. I will not carry the weight of your choices anymore.”
It’s not a gift you give them.
It’s medicine you give yourself.
By releasing the resentment, you stop replaying the wound in your mind.
You stop letting yesterday’s poison leak into today’s joy.
You protect the softness of your heart without hardening it forever.
Forgiving doesn’t mean trusting again.
It doesn’t mean forgetting the lesson.
It means choosing your peace over their power.
And in that quiet choice, you become free.
Not because they deserved it —
but because you deserve to live lightly again
