Learning how to forgive after having been hurt by someone

Graphic by Bruna Costa

When I was younger, I didn’t know how to forgive people who had hurt me or abused me. I would hold a lot of anger toward that person for a very long time. I wouldn’t let anything go for nothing and hold onto the past. I didn’t know to let the past be the past, and to move on from the hurt and pain. I didn’t want to find the love within myself and others, and Bobby Caldwell said, “you tired but don’t give up searching for love in yourself from within and now that I am old, learn to forgive people who hurt me and abused me.” Learn to let go and let go, deal with it. Pray up and learn how to heal my heart and heal myself and my mind’s spirit. Learn that we have to forgive people. You will forget what they did to us and what they put us through. If you talk to yourself and learn to be a better you, it will be better. The best way to heal from the hurt is to start writing in journals.
