Forgiveness

To forgive is one of the hardest things to do - mostly because the ones we generally have to forgive are the ones that hurt us the most, those people we really keep close and cherish.

I never really understood forgiveness in entirely - I know holding a grudge is unhealthy but to forgive was always hard for me. I'd rather forget and pretend it never happened.

Then one day I read this:

"Not forgiving someone hurts you worse than it hurts them. Not forgiving someone is like not pulling a thorn out of your foot just because you weren't the one that put it there."

And it clicked - what forgiveness is all about.

Hope it helps as much as it has helped me :)
