Forgiveness is a very difficult art but it’s often necessary. It’s hard to forgive someone who hurt you. It’s hard to forgive someone you put on a pedestal and they knocked themselves off of it. It’s hard to forgive the closest people in your life when they hurt you or abandon you or neglect you or tell you things you can’t forget. It’s hard to forgive those you sacrificed a lot for. It’s hard to look at someone who caused you so much pain and still love them with all your heart or treat them with the same respect but sometimes we have to forgive those people and remember that they're also human, that we have had our days when we erred too and hurt people we loved because we were still healing our own issues, we were still growing and learning how to love again, we were still evolving and we got many things wrong. Forgive yourself for the things you didn’t know, for the mistakes you've made, for the wrong people you've loved or trusted, for the decisions you made that disappointed others because if you can forgive yourself first, you'll be able to forgive others and if you can practice the art of forgiveness throughout your life, you'll be able to find inner peace and you will stop making someone's actions disturb you. If you can practice the art of forgiveness, you will be able to heal not only yourself but also the most important relationships in your life.
