Why do I want to forgive him?
Because he is not a bad person.

I forgive him because although we are incompatible, I know that he has a good heart.

I forgive him because his healing process of past trauma doesn’t depend on me and when I am ready for him to be at peace with his past.

I forgive him because we had great memories that I will cherish and remember; those don’t disappear just because he hurt me.

I forgive him because although I have moments that I miss him; I accept that we aren’t meant to be in one another’s lives.

Forgiveness is giving up the hope that things turned out differently and, I am at peace with the reality of what we have become.
