Anyone else bothered by a cashier handing you change? Like “what are you doing to me- I don’t need one more thing to worry about or hold immediately after you handed me 30 drinks and 500 bags of food”. But it’s my money. Why am I bothered by my money?
Forgiveness isn’t letting anyone off the hook.
It’s handing their shit back to them and saying, “I’m not carrying this anymore. Sorry you could never heal your pain and had to share it with me instead.”
Forgiveness then, is simply giving the pain back to it’s rightful owner.

“even though I was giving everything, it still was never enough...and then, I broke. My body literally broke...
Tiny little cracks appeared in the lining of my bladder and a disease sprouted and lingered for close to two years.
Until I became selfish...”
