Let this thread be a space for people to share stories of forgiveness.
I recently learned about the concept of forgiveness. Personally, I'm struggling with forgiving certain people in my life. I realized that I started to feed on this negative energy of distrusting people and trying to win at life in spite of them.
I always thought of not forgiving those who've "wronged" me as something to be proud of and as the ultimate motivation. "Oh, you doubted me, backstabbed me, or abandoned me but look how successful I am." I guess it's kinda childish but it allowed me to push myself harder and perform better at school and sports.
I realize now that I can't go on like this much further. I think I need to let go of the past and forgive.
I'm still very much struggling with this concept and often find myself saying "that's truly unforgivable; how could they have done this to me?" I realize, however, that it is a journey. So, to help with the process, I think we could all enjoy such a thread where we discuss strategies to forgive and help each other.
