Accept Change

Forgiveness is not an act of generosity toward the person who caused the pain. It is a clearing. An interior one – of the stories, reflexes, and held weight that quietly run your present from somewhere in your past.

The work is surgical. You locate where the hurt has lodged – in the body, in the narrative, in the way you move through a room. And you remove it. Not by ignoring it. By deciding it no longer gets to design you.

That decision is where the energy returns.
