Forgiveness means letting go of the past.

Forgiveness is the release of all hope for a better past.

Forgiveness is better than revenge.

Forgiveness is this act of love where you say to someone, ‘You’re an imperfect being and I still love you.’ You want to have this energy of ‘We’re not giving up on each other; we’re in this for the long haul. You hurt me. And, yes, I hurt you. And I’m sorry, but you’re still mine.’

Forgiveness is giving up the hope that the past could have been any different, it's accepting the past for what it was, and using this moment and this time to help yourself move forward.

Forgiveness is the final form of love.

Forgiveness is your release from the hell of wanting to know what cannot be known and from wanting to see others suffer because they have hurt you.

Forgiveness means giving up all hope for a better past.

Forgiveness is.... giving up the hope that you can change the past.

Forgiveness is giving up all hope of having had a better past.
