I agree with you my friend. Forgiving yourself is way harder, mainly because we cannot escape! With other people we can walk away, but there is no walking away from self.
I've found in relationships that there will always be pain. We make mistakes and we hurt people. However, if we can work through that, learn and grow from the experience, we can then form stronger bonds with others. Forgiving ourselves and each other is a part of that process.
I want to thank you for sharing such a deeply emotional and painful story. I know that it takes a lot of courage to do that, especially in a public medium like this. I am honoured that you felt safe enough to share here and I can relate and empathize with you greatly. I pray that you were able to mend each others hearts. <3
Thank you so much for your support. I didn't think it would affect me that much. When I read your post, it made me feel better.
