Forgiveness

I

Forgiveness doesn’t mean forgetting. It’s about grace. It’s not about an eraser. You don’t erase people hurting you. You recognise that you hurt other people too. And you offer the same kind of grace that you want. And you move on but you don’t sign up for more of it from that relationship. You have to sign up for more vulnerability and commitment to more grace for yourself and for other people moving forward.
