Mama Don’t Play That!: 10 Lessons I Learned From My Mother
6. Forgive
Forgiveness is a choice – a decision you make that is just as much for yourself, if not more, as it is for the other person. For some people, forgiving someone else is actually easier than forgiving yourself – but you have to let it go, even when you don’t want to. You can forgive an ex, and even go on to become genuine friends later down the line if you choose, even if it seems impossible in the moment. But you have to set yourself free, because holding on to hurt forever only damages your spirit, and you’ll never be able to move on and love again. Forgiveness is for YOU, not anyone else.
