I Have a Question

I want to forgive myself and others as well. I want to let go of my past and simply move forward. But it's not that simple

No, it isn't that simple. When someone has hurt you, and hurt you badly, it's very difficult, especially when it's the other person's fault. Forgiving someone takes time and effort. I still struggle with it with a few people. The biggest thing that works for me is to remind myself that I don't want to harbor hatred and I don't want to become bitter. Most of all, I don't want my own faults, grudges, and bad feelings to become worse than what the other person did to me.

I wish you all success with this, SincerelyHer, but know it will be a long, tough road.
