If I could forgive, it meant I was a person who could take responsibility for the path I had chosen for myself, and all the consequences that accompanied that choice. And it gave me the simple but powerful satisfaction of extending a kindness to another in a tough spot. We have to be able to let go. We don't have to like this person anymore, we don't have to be friends with them, we don't have to reply to their texts, but we have to forgive them, to overlook, to try to forget. Because if we don't we are tying rocks to our feet, too much for our wings to carry. To heavy to reach the stars.
