Forgiveness isn’t a destination; it’s a process—a sacred act of self-love and self-respect that begins with you. When you forgive who you were, you’re not erasing the past; you’re honoring it as the foundation that brought you to this moment. You’re giving yourself permission to embrace the person you are becoming.

What I’ve come to realize is that forgiveness is not about excusing pain or mistakes but about reclaiming your power. It’s a boundary—a declaration that says, “I release what no longer serves me while redefining what I will allow moving forward.”
