Moving on or forgiving those hurt you don't discount what…
““Moving on or forgiving those hurt you don't discount what you went through or make it "better" you have every reason to be angry or discouraged. But don't let that be all you are. The past is just that, and you are the only one is charge of which memories you take with you and which you haul overboard as your boat sails on. As for forgiveness, it's for you my dear. When you get caught in the past it's like you walking through concrete. Free yourself. You're the only one who can. I know it's easy to say, and just about the hardest thing to do. But the grace you bestow on them is really the gift you give yourself.””
