My inspiration post (week 5)

For this week the topic I chose is forgiveness. The reason I chose this topic is because I find it so inspirational. It's kind of hard to put into words but forgiveness is one of the most inspiring things out there. Just think about it! Forgiveness is an extremely hard thing to do for yourself. The thing about forgiveness is that it's about letting go. It's about finally letting yourself get rid of all that stress, even if you know that person or whoever doesn't deserve it. But that's the best part, it's not about them. Forgiving makes us let go of our anger. To finally let go of our need to hurt, teach a lesson and our need to harm this person. The thing about forgiveness is by choosing to forgive what happen we’re letting go of something that hurt us. We're letting go of the need for an apology and of the need for this person to change. Forgiving is us freeing ourselves. Forgiveness doesn't mean forgetting, though. It doesn't mean giving the person we've forgiven the same label that they had before. It means we moved on. We healed from the hurt that has happened to us. And that to me, is one of the most inspirational things you can do, not for someone else, but for yourself. Sorry if that didn't make much sense, but it's really hard for me to put this in words. So yeah, that's my inspiration post this week!
