minus-squareStoneykins [any]@mander.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·2 years agoI had a better relationship with forgiveness when I started thinking about it being for my benefit.

Letting that go can be a huge relief. …and there is no reason to forgive someone if doing so would be self-destructive or potentially harmful to you in other ways.
