@zell_shivas: Some people can be forgiven from a distance. Some chapters can be closed without another conversation. And some relationships are lessons we must leave behind. I refuse to let yesterday's pain steal tomorrow's happiness. My heart can remain kind without remaining available to everyone. I can wish people well without wishing them back into my life. Today, I choose forgiveness, healthy boundaries, self-respect and peace. Not because my past didn't hurt, but because my future deserves better. And perhaps the greatest act of forgiveness is finally forgiving myself for the times I allowed others to treat me as though I wasn't enough. I am letting go, not because it didn't matter, but because I matter too. ❤️
