One of the things I& #39;ve been working through in therapy is forgiveness. I& #39;ve been wronged by so many people and and a significant amount of them have been close to me.
My parents are both the black sheep of their families and as the one of the black sheep& #39;s kids I& #39;ve never been close to too many aunts and uncles. I also experienced seeing support and love given to cousins that was never afforded to me.
As a Libra I& #39;m big into justice and fairness, I& #39;m all about keeping my scales balanced, and it is hard for me to just let people off the hook. My anger was righteous and justified AF.
What I& #39;m learning to do is let go of the debt I feel that I am owed by people. I& #39;ve found that holding on to it, whether super tightly or not, takes too much energy.
I& #39;ve been successful in therapy with doing everything to myself in love including showing myself grace and allowing myself the freedom to make mistakes and learn from them w/out beating myself up.
That& #39;s afforded me the ability to try new things. Forgiveness is a choice like a mug and I found I don& #39;t need a long process to get there. Everyone& #39;s debt is cancelled in my book and I feel at peace and more free as a result.
Today I was reminded how truly precious life is and how impactful being a kind human being can be.
By forgiving I& #39;m intentionally opening myself up for more love, more light, more positivity, more impactful, genuine and loving interactions with other people
Life is a gift. I needed to be reminded of this. It sucks that the reminder came with so much grief from a huge loss but I& #39;m going to commit to living out this reminder.
