According to (one of my all time favourite writers and human beings) Martha Beck, "forgiveness is giving up all hope of having had a different past".
I'm a big fan of forgiveness, in theory. But in spite of all the logical sayings - like "not forgiving is like drinking poison and hoping someone else will feel the effects" - in practice, it can feel much harder.
Thinking of the things you struggle to forgive, is a part of you hoping for something to actually rewind so you can have had a different past?
How can you make peace with your past (even if you're not ready to even contemplate forgiving someone involved)?
