About This Quote
Forgiveness is the one gift you don't give to others. Rather, it is the gift you give yourself, so you can finally be free. The person you forgive may have wronged you in the past, but after being forgiven, they are still a part of your life. You can choose to not forgive a person or a situation, but forgetting about it and moving on is not good for your mental health.
Forgiveness does not mean that you have to forget what happened. It simply means that you have forgiven from your heart and from your mind.
