Letting go isn't something that's easy.
No one wants to make the effort,
Make the sacrifice,
To let go.
Not because they enjoy their suffering,
But because its harder than words could ever explain.
But the truth is
That letting go is hard, but its a necessity.
The past is unchangeable.
Words cannot be taken back.
Your choices,
Whether good or bad,
Right or wrong,
Smart or not,
Are done.
And we have to live with these things.
Forgiveness is not an act of weakness,
Or an act of dismissing what was done.
Forgiveness is an action, a choice, of letting go.
Letting go of those who hurt you.
Letting go of the words that play in your mind at the dark hours of the day.
Letting go of your own wrong actions.
Letting go of the pain.
Forgiveness isn't about the other person.
It's about you.
Its about your own well being,
Your own happiness,
Your own freedom.
The world needs a little more forgiveness.
The world needs a little more letting go.
When we can let go of all these things that halt our growth, and happiness, our lives, wl
When we can let go of all the strings and threads we so desperately hold on to.
When we can accept that these moments are not a part of who I am.
That pain may have changed me,
But pain and sorrow and bitterness are not who you are.
When we can learn to forgive out of choice of moving on,
With or without an apology,
Maybe we can start looking up.
Maybe we can all hold our heads a little higher.
Maybe can save ourselves
And each other.
