11. Forgiveness

“Forgiveness doesn’t mean you’re ok with being wronged. It also doesn’t mean you want to be friends or even on good terms with the person that wronged you. Forgiveness means you have chosen to no longer allow these people/ incidents to live in your mind rent-free. Don’t get me wrong. Healing and coming to a place of forgiveness takes work- repeated work. But it’s so possible. What are your thoughts on forgiveness?”
