Letting go hurts, but holding on to what is no longer alive hurts much more. I love how you suggest that self-forgiveness is not an excuse, but rather an integration of our history. Thank you for participating.👋
Thank you very much for your words, I’m glad that idea resonated with you.
I believe one of the hardest parts is exactly that—understanding that letting go is not always an immediate relief, but holding on to what no longer has life ends up weighing even more over time.
And yes, self-forgiveness, at least for me, has been more about understanding than justification. Learning to integrate what I’ve lived without remaining trapped in it.
Thank you as well for the space and for your thoughtful reading
