You need to forgive yourself

“You are a good person / Who has made mistakes / But haven’t we all / Make mistakes You don’t need to / Beg for forgiveness / You only need to / Forgive yourself”

Forgive yourself for not knowing better at the time. Forgiveyourself for giving away your power. Forgive yourself for the survival patterns and traits you picked up while enduring trauma. Forgive yourself for being who you needed to be. - Audrey Kitching

I apologize. For not putting you first. For putting them first. For making your worth dependent on how they saw you. For making their words more important than yours. For not allowing myself to forgive you or to forgive me. Forgive me. For believing them when they said that something was wrong with you. Forgive me for not believing in you. Forgive me for loving them more than loving you. Forgive me for not loving you. My heart cries every time I read this.

It's not always easy to forgive yourself. You may beat yourself up for weeks, months, or even years after making a mistake. But it's important to learn how to self-forgive. Self-forgiveness is key to moving on from your mistakes. It allows you to let go of the negative feelings and thoughts you have about yourself. It also allows you to start fresh and make better choices in the future.

I forgive you, but we don't need to keep in touch... Respectfully.
