Why do I want to forgive him?
Because holding onto him won’t change him.
I’ve spent enough time looking for love outside of myself and it’s time to look within.
I forgive him
Because I could spend my life trying to steal back the moments we gave to each other or be happy that we ever had them to begin with.
I forgive him
Because for a long time, I felt like he took from me.
And now I realize that I got so more than I expected to get.
I forgive him
Because I felt played, I felt used and I felt replaceable. I never understood that only I can truly value myself, it can’t always come from him.
I forgive him
Because I am also in the process of forgiving myself for not understanding the fundamental rule of abundance, there is always enough.
I loved him enough, I gave him and now I can let him go.
I forgive him because I’m not shutting the door created by a fake boundary. I am keeping the door open and walking forward without looking back anymore.
I forgive him because he deserves everything that I ever asked him for: love, kindness and respect. Whether he gives it back to me is up to him but I’m not going to hold a grudge against him if he doesn’t.
