@AnnaSilverberg
What does forgiveness feel like in your body?
Like a wash of relief and complete airiness, like you could float.
Have you ever forgiven someone and felt the light rush in?
Yes, and it's almost instantaneous, like my mind and body were just waiting for permission.
Is there someone you’re ready to forgive, not to reconnect, but to release?
Not currently, but this is a very strong lesson in closure I learned over the years, and once I did it was so much easier to move on.
@AnnaSilverberg
💜 What does forgiveness feel like in your body? For me, forgiveness is slow. My body reacts to things and has difficulty recovering.
💓 Have you ever forgiven someone and felt the light rush in? There have been times when I have forgiven someone and felt good about it. Then there are times when I struggle to forgive right away.
@AnnaSilverberg
I am trying my best to forgive others and myself. Sometimes no one's wrong, but we expect them to always understand us, which is a fantasy which leads us to get offended. That may make us feel wronged. Anyways, I am trying my best to forgive. 😊
@AnnaSilverberg
What does forgiveness feel like in your body?
like a weight been lifted off us
Have you ever forgiven someone and felt the light rush in?
we feel forgiveness is not one time also it to us a active chose we can make within our healing. it not for them as they will never ask to be forgiven as they believe they did no wrong to us. but each time something come up we chose to forgive them for that acted. sometimes even that come in layers too but why should we not find freedom in forgiving them for our own good.
@AnnaSilverberg
Forgiveness should feel soft and freeing and like a pressure or weight off .
But it's difficult .
It can feel unfair.
Compromising.
Torn.
Impossible.
Conflicting.
It's not for the other person, it's for you, it doesn't eradicate the wrong or excuse it, but it gives you the choice to not drown in it 💕💜

I have some old friends that I want to forgive in a way that i can just let them go. I have days I hope they reach back but, I know my forgiveness will release the feelings of "i may not be able to celebrate with them again, but I feel better that I can celebrate myself and with the people who care about my journey."
@AnnaSilverberg recently, I read online:
"to heal you have to accept the lack of satisfaction that comes with forgiving."
i wish i could find the source of that to quote it, but alas, i didn't have the foresight to save it.
Those words really shifted something in me. I hold alot of anger, at a lot of people. I wont be recieving an apology (although it would do me no good otherwise!), or an explanation, or even an acknowledged "I was wrong." But a time has come when I've sort of realized that some of the pain I carry is not mine to bear. Why should I hold the weight of another's mistakes a second longer?
Yeah, I'm angry. Yeah, people are messed up. And yeah, I'm still here, and I don't need them, not with apologies, nor as a part of my anger. It's not quite forgiveness, maybe, but we don't need a name for everything xD
@AnnaSilverberg
It's a good topic to discuss , Anna! 🐳 \(^-^)/
Some people said, not forgiving is like drinking a poison but hoping someone else dies, maybe I don't forgive but I just moved on. So not forgiveness but moved onness, so I don’t drink the poison. 😁
