forgiving my ex
and his family
is a literal line item
on my bucket list
not quiiite there yet
but writing poems
is super healing and
I can feel my heart
softening just a bit

I mean, we’re probably still 2-3 years out, but hey, getting there.
I’m also still figuring out what forgiveness looks like when people aren’t sorry for what they did.
Thoughts?
For me, it looks like
accepting the wounds they left
without wishing them harm
and having moments of accepting
their own woundedness
that showed up in their worst self
It looks like being free from bitterness
and free to be me
Not indifference, exactly
Just freedom
I love that you are merciful toward yourself and your journey. You have all the time in the world! Sluff off the pressure to even "accomplish" this before you die. Forgiveness will grow in its own time and way as you walk in joyful love day by day.
