💗 Hay you wonderfuls 💗

💓🐑💓

😮‍💨 Today’s path was a tough one for me😮‍💨
Simply because forgiveness isn’t always easy, and it definitely isn’t “one-size-fits-all”.

I’ve often been quick to forgive, but there are moments when I’m just not ready.
🤗 And that’s okay 🤗

📍A friend reminded me recently:
“It’s okay not to forgive yet. But if someone apologizes,
acknowledge their courage. Just say thank you.”


That shifted something in me🤔
💗I realized I can honor their effort without rushing my own healing💗

Forgiveness isn’t about excusing harm, not at all. It is more about releasing pain.
🧡 It’s choosing peace over poison 🧡
It’s saying, “I deserve to sleep peacefully tonight.”

❄️ There is an Icelandic quote to be found in the path ❄️
🤔 Perhaps it will resonate with you, feel free to give it a good thought 🤔

This quote also really stayed with me:
“You don’t have to rebuild a relationship with everyone you’ve forgiven. You’re allowed to move on.”

🫂 So today, I’m planting a seed of kindness toward myself 🫂
💜 If you’re holding something heavy, maybe it’s time to gently set it down 💜
🙂‍↕️ Not for them, but for you 🙂‍↕️

@AnnaSilverberg Hello there❤️🐦


💜 What does forgiveness feel like in your body?

It's like stoping repeating their memories in my mind. stop thinking about them. Not because I want to reconnect. It means I am neutral towards them. Nor friendly, nor aggressive.

🩷 Have you ever forgiven someone and felt the light rush in?

I'm not sure about that, maybe I did not forgive, just remove the person from my life. I'm beginning to forgot the memories, and that's nice. maybe not forgiveness or a rush of light, but letting go & feeling lighter, yes.

❤️ Is there someone you’re ready to forgive, not to reconnect, but to release?

There are someone, maybe I can work on getting ready to forgive right now, as you wisely putted, not for them, but for myself. 💙🩵💙

Forgiving myself was key for me.

Once I'd forgiven myself once, it was much easier to forgive others.

Hasn't made it any easier to forgive mysrlf for all the other things. But at least I know it's possible.

There was no sudden sense of peace for me, just less anger.

Like liberation, peace and calm, a release of weight.

Every time

I already forgave the last person who did me wrong

💜 What does forgiveness feel like in your body?

Almost like the settling of an ocean floor. Everything was chaos, but I've given it all the chance to subside.

🩷 Have you ever forgiven someone and felt the light rush in?

I guess...I don't know. I've had times when someone apologizes, and it just feels genuine and complete. That's the closest I think I've ever been there.

❤️ Is there someone you’re ready to forgive, not to reconnect, but to release?
Yes. My Auntie.

...actually, I don't know if I'm ready to forgive her. I thanked her for her apology, although it doesn't seem genuine to me.

Thanks for taking the time to write this and for tagging me 🥹

I really like the quote about how we can acknowledge someone's effort for apologizing but respect we needs time to move on. And forgiveness keeps remembering me about something else : Its ok to understand that someone who hurted us is having hard times too but doesn't mean we need to forgive and that our pain doesn't matter

(i skipped the questions because they are kinda personal)

Forgiveness helps me feel lighter.

Yes, I have. It has been a difficult process.

I am ready to forgive those who have hurt me in the past. I release that negative emotion.
