00:00How do you forgive someone who hurt you? God, this is so complex in so many ways,

00:05but I'm going to try and answer this the best that I can. Something a lot of people get wrong

00:09is that forgiveness is about the other person and not about you. If the other person actually

00:15isn't willing to meet you, there are ways that you can forgive that don't require the other

00:20person showing up. Because forgiveness doesn't mean what most people think it means. It doesn't

00:24mean pretend it didn't happen. It doesn't mean be the bigger person. And it definitely doesn't mean

00:29let them back in in the same way. Forgiveness isn't actually about the other person a lot of

00:34times. It's about deciding what you want your heart to carry. Because pain doesn't just live

00:39in the memories. Pain lives in your nervous system, in your jaw, in the way you flinch when someone

00:45uses a certain tone, in the way your guard goes up when you get too close. Forgiveness is the act

00:50of saying, I don't want this pain to write the rest of my story. It's not one big moment. It's a

00:55process. And it often begins with grieving what happened before you ever get to letting

01:00it go. So how do you start? You name what was hurt. You let yourself feel the sting of

01:05what should have been different. You set boundaries that honor your healing. And you ask yourself

01:10the question that changes everything. What would it feel like to be free from this? Not free

01:16from accountability. Not free from memory. But free from the grip that pain has on your sense

01:22of self. Forgiveness doesn't necessarily mean the person across from you deserves a second

01:27chance. And maybe they do. But what it really means is you deserve a second chance at peace,

01:32at wholeness, at softness again.
