I Forgive Myself.

"In order to heal, we must first forgive...and sometimes the person we must forgive...is ourselves." -Mila Bron To let go of the past and move on, is to be able to forgive all that has been done. To start a fresh, new year, a lot of letting go must be done. So here goes.

I forgive myself this year.

I forgive myself for being responsible in breaking my own heart.

I forgive myself for allowing someone to be in my life who was much overdue. I forgive myself for not seeing sooner what I deserve and what I am worth. I forgive myself for blaming and hating myself for the pain someone else caused me. I forgive myself for believing in something that was not there. I forgive myself for holding onto toxicity and pain. I forgive myself for hurting both myself and another in trying to help them heal when they did not want to. I forgive myself for hurting those who love me while trying to follow my heart. I forgive myself for only seeing the good in others. I forgive myself in believing my self-sabotaging thoughts and manipulation from others of my intentions and effort. I forgive myself for every moment I abandoned myself to love someone else. I forgive myself for believing in miracles. I forgive myself for not having all the answers the first time around. I forgive myself for degrading myself so low just to be loved. I forgive myself for holding onto a memory. I forgive myself for not having known how cruel the world could be. I forgive myself for believing horrible things about myself. I forgive myself for allowing others to raise their voice above mine. I forgive myself for being afraid. I forgive myself for seeing possibilities to the end even if it costs my well being. I forgive myself for not knowing better. I forgive myself for being so forgiving. I forgive myself for caring more for others than myself. I forgive myself for letting go and no longer holding myself accountable. I forgive myself for all the memories I will erase. I forgive myself for waiting on another to validate and define the good things about myself.

I forgive myself.

I forgive and forgive myself. All the horrible things I’ve done to myself. I forgive. I am so, so sorry. And I will love me so much more this year for all the sorrow I’ve felt.

What will you forgive this year?
