It's OK Not To Forgive

Shhhh... It's OK not to forgive. Just don't harm anyone, don't seek revenge. That's all.

Nothing could be crueler than telling someone they should forgive. Especially if they've been abused, violated, or betrayed.

Hug your pain and your non-forgiveness, which has every right to be there. Keep hugging, cradling, and being real to yourself.

Then some day, when it happens, it happens, because it feels OK in your heart. The fruit is ripe and it drops. So you let it go. No one can force it, and no one needs to make it a 'should.' I love you.
