You don't have to forgive to heal... You heal by accepting what happened and moving on. Forgiveness is up to you.

Forgiveness is letting go of the need for revenge.

Forgiveness is not putting the person who hurt us in the position to ever do so again.

You heal by taking the stabby thing out of the wound and not letting it back in.

i know that we have to forgive if we want to be forgiven but my heart is not ready for that yet

There's a few people i wont forgive

Not because I haven't healed

So they stay attached to what they did to me for the rest of their life knowing they will never get closure

This is a nice ideal to aspire to, but my list only gets longer with time.
