Why forgive someone?
For your own damn sake.
Here’s the thing—holding onto anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to keel over.
Spoiler alert: they won’t. 🚫
Forgiveness isn’t about letting them off the hook.
It’s about letting yourself off the hook.
When you cling to a grudge, it’s not weighing them down—it’s weighing you down.
It eats at your time, drains your energy, and keeps you stuck in the same emotional loop.
You can forgive quietly, in your own heart.
You don’t need to send a letter, make an announcement, or even tell them.
Sometimes the shift happens entirely in your thoughts—and that’s enough.
Because when you change your thoughts, you take back control.
(Maybe you choose to love your little brother even when he tosses you around in the pool like a wet rag…)
You choose peace.
You choose freedom.
And hey, forgive yourself if it takes a while.
This is a practice. You’re learning. You’re growing. 🦋
