Section Five : Healing & Forgiveness, Intro

Healing and forgiveness are not destinations. They are ongoing choices we make to stop carrying what was never ours to hold. Sometimes it is pain passed down. Sometimes it is something that shattered us. And sometimes, it is the heaviness of what we never received. But healing is not about pretending it did not hurt, it is about giving yourself the space to feel what you could not before and releasing the grip it has had on your life.

Forgiveness does not mean forgetting, excusing, or reconciling. It means reclaiming your peace. It means choosing to stop reliving what already happened so you can start living fully again. Sometimes you will need to forgive others. Other times, the person who needs your compassion most is you.

This section is about unpacking what still hurts, naming what you are still holding onto, and deciding what you are ready to let go of. It is about learning how to mend what has been broken, not by rushing past it, but by tending to it with honesty, courage, and care. Healing begins when you give yourself permission to feel. Forgiveness begins when you are ready to be free.

You do not owe anyone your healing. But you owe it to yourself to stop bleeding from wounds that were never your fault.
