Forgiveness

Poem by Brenda Twohy:

” When I say I forgive you, know this I did not bury the hatchet. I have the hatchet in my hands, and I am building myself a new house.”

You’re acknowledging the past and deploying the learned knowledge to construct a new version of yourself and how you view your situation.This transformative kind of forgiveness can be a powerful step in your journey.

Forgiveness isn’t forgetting and pretending it never happened. Forgiveness is about embracing the people and a situation as it is, meaning you can let go of the pain to move on while honouring the pain that you’ve experienced.
