Don’t ever let someone make you feel guilty for being unable to forgive them. How come you’re supposed to feel guilty for being unable to “just get over it,” when they’re the ones who hurt, devastated and ruined you?? Make it make sense. If you can’t forgive it, then let them go.

It’s painful holding onto someone, trying to move forward and forget about something that TRULY fucked you up. You don’t owe them anything. Do what makes you feel peace. And sometimes, that means making the decision to walk away. You just can’t see them the same way anymore.

Unpopular opinion but you don’t have to forgive everyone for every fucked up thing they’ve done to you. You don’t. It’s pretty toxic to try and force people into forgiving by being like, “oh, well you’re carrying hatred in your heart.” No. You’re just being true to your feelings.

Maybe that forgiveness will come at a time later on. A time when you’re healing and can see the situation and the person for what they were: A really painful lesson. But you don’t have to keep them in your life and you don’t owe them YOU anymore. They lost that privilege.
