LAX turns for days! ✈ “I NEVER KNEW HOW STRONG I WAS UNTIL I HAD TO FORGIVE SOMEONE WHO WASN’T SORRY AND ACCEPT AN APOLOGY I NEVER RECEIVED.” ♥
I found that people make mistakes. Often painful mistakes. Often mistakes that might not warrant forgiveness. Yet I tried to grant it anyways. I found that holding grudges made me bitter, made my heart ache. Made me feel empty and angry in ways that I never imagined.
I learned forgiveness meant letting go.
Letting go of my own pain and letting go of the pain that was inflicted on me. I learned I didn’t have to have scars if I chose not to. I didn’t have to let painful words bruise my heart if I chose to set them free.
I choose forgiveness. I will choose it when my heart is aching. I will choose it when I feel betrayed. I will choose it when people don’t treat me how they should and it hurts to keep them in my life. I will choose forgiveness. And then I will walk away.
I choose forgiveness because I deserve to heal.
Because I don’t want to hold onto pain for any longer than I need to. Because healing starts when I let things go. And when I choose to forgive: maybe, just maybe, they’ll learn to love and heal too. ✈🦋
