Learning to forgive from "summary" of Heavy by Kiese Laymon
Forgiveness is a muscle that we have to build and flex every day. We have to learn to forgive not only others, but also ourselves. It's not easy. It's a heavy burden to carry, but it's necessary for our own growth and healing. Forgiveness is not about forgetting or excusing what someone has done to us. It's about releasing ourselves from the pain and anger that can consume us if we hold onto it. We have to learn to forgive those who have hurt us, even if they never apologize or acknowledge the harm they have caused. It's not about letting them off the hook, but about freeing ourselves from the weight of resentment. Forgiveness is a radical act of self-love and self-care. It's about taking back our power and refusing to let someone else's actions define us. Forgiveness is a process, not a destination. It's a journey that we have to embark on every day. It's about accepting that we are all flawed and imperfect, and that we all make mistakes. It's about recognizing our own humanity and the humanity of others. Forgiveness is not about condoning or excusing harmful behavior. It's about acknowledging the pain and anger, and choosing to let go of it for our own sake. Learning to forgive is a lifelong practice. It's about being kind and compassionate to ourselves, even when we feel unworthy or undeserving. It's about finding peace and healing in the midst of chaos and pain. Forgiveness is a gift that we give to ourselves, a way to reclaim our power and our humanity. It's about letting go of the past and embracing the present moment with all its challenges and possibilities.
