Why do I want to forgive her?

Because she knows not what she does.

I forgive her because if I always hold her up to my standards, she will always fail.

I forgive her because there is no point in reliving the past and holding her at ransom for what she has said and done in the past.

I forgive her because I have learnt many lessons in our relationship. The one main being that I can set boundaries without feeling guilty or as though I am a terrible person for doing so.

I forgive her because true freedom is in my mind.

I forgive her because I understand completely that what she says to me is a byproduct of what is occurring in her mind.

I forgive her because life is meant to be lived today, not through yesterday or the past but now and in this present moment.
