Lessons I learnt from forgiveness
Never have I ever felt so content in my life and never did I realize that I would feel so much of contentment by forgiving someone for breaking my heart. For ruining my perception of love. I did it for the sanity of my mind and probably also because I didn't want that someone to live with that guilt and regret. Every one, every one of us has committed some or the other mistakes in their lives, unknowingly caused hurt to someone we claimed to love and I believe every one of us must be granted forgiveness given that we regret what we have done and are extremely guilty for it.
It was that moment when I realized the true meaning of letting go and moving on. Can you believe it took me six years to do that? You haven't truly let go of something you have been holding on unless and until you have forgiven. Forgiven anybody, could you be your own self or someone else. And when you do that, you truly move on. You move on to better things or should I say you make place for other things in your heart. It is just like taking off the books of the shelves that are just collecting dust, you never truly accept that you don't need those books in your life till you take them off their shelves.
I am not saying people are like books of dust and you should throw them out. I mean the memories, the grudges and anything you hold against some people. YOU NEED TO LET GO OF THAT.
Last but not the least, I am not saying you to forgive someone right away. You can have your own timeline of doing things. You just have to be completely ready to forgive someone when you want to do that then only you will be free. And trust me, it is a great great feeling. It is a liberating feeling in my case.
I hope you have the heart to forgive someone who has wronged you and if it is your own self I hope you have enough courage to forgive your own self. I know it is hard and I know it is easy for me to say but it is important and it is okay if you take your own time when doing so. I understand, I completely understand.
Until next time,
take care,
Em.
