this is also what forgiveness means for me. also might i add...forgiveness is not about forgetting. it is a personal choice that you make when you feel ready. nobody should be telling you to forgive because it should be YOU who decides this. i'm so sorry you were hurt, you did not deserve that. please remember that you matter and you are important and nobody has a right to hurt you. sometimes our past hurts make us feel like we don't deserve better but you do. you deserve happiness. here with you.
