Uncaged

,

This is for those who want to move on but still carry the weight of hard feelings inside them.

These feelings toward you have stayed with me for too long. Sometimes, it feels like a heavy stone pressed on my chest. And now I understand — as long as I hold on to any kind of emotion for you, whether it’s love or hate, I’ll never really move on. I’ll stay connected to a story that should have ended long ago.

I know what you did was terrible. But holding on to anger won’t change anything. It won’t fix the past, and it won’t make the present any better. It will only poison the future. And I’ve decided I won’t let that happen.

So, I forgive you. Not because you deserve it, and not because I want to forget everything. I forgive you because I want peace. Because I want to move forward. Because I know I deserve better than to stay stuck in pain.

There’s a life waiting for me — a better one. And I refuse to let one bad chapter define all the pages ahead. I won’t let myself become bitter just because someone else broke me. So yes, I forgive you, not for you, but for me. I’m letting you go, so I can finally breathe again.

Sometimes, forgiveness isn’t about fixing what’s broken. It’s about freeing yourself from what hurts.

  5. <3 I recently went through something similar. Good for you. It's not easy.

    1. Nothing is easy. I hope you okay. Don’t worry we all face these situations in our life. 🙂

      1. Oh I’m quite okay. It just involved a bad relationship where I was used and abused. She never even owned up to her mistakes. Took me 2-3 years to get to a place where I could forgive someone who was never sorry. That’s a strange and tough things to do. I hope everything’s been looking up for you as well!
