What Happens When You Finally Forgive

You remember what they did to you.

Maybe it was 10 years ago.

And still you carry it, Bratan.

You replay the conversation. You imagine what you should have said. You wait for them to understand what they did.

Maybe they never will. But every year you carry that anger, you are the one carrying the weight.

Forgiveness does not mean what they did was right. It does not mean you trust them again.

It means you refuse to let what happened continue to control you.

And then comes the harder part.
