Dear Whoever Is Reading This: I Wish You A Life Full Of Warmth And Happiness And Love. I Hope Youre Okay.

“Dear whoever is reading this: I wish you a life full of warmth and happiness and love. I hope you’re okay. And if you aren’t now, you will be.”

Forgiveness isn’t easy, especially when there’s an injustice and somebody has done something to hurt you. It is natural to hold anger and resentment against somebody who has wronged you in the past but you have to know that the only person damaged by your anger is you. That person doesn’t care about how angry you are, why would they when they’re not the ones carrying it around? Start to see forgiveness as a selfish act and your ability to take back control. By forgiving them, you are not excusing what they have done to you, you are making the conscious decision to stop it from affecting your mental health and taking a positive step forward.

“Just because things hadn’t gone the way I had planned didn’t necessarily mean they had gone wrong.”
