Forgiveness is earned not given, that’s my way and I’m sticking with it.

Just lovley. We are human indeed.

Forgiving just doesn't feel right sometimes. Doesn't make you a bad

person. Maybe its more about the need to move on and perhaps that person who was in your life, who you can't forgive needs to take that on board. Hope that isn't coming across as mean, it's more about people taking responsibility for their behaviour. Some people have baggage that weighs them down and can't move on. You have to try and deal with your past issues.

It's hard to forgive someone who can't move on and forgive themself.

Hope that makes sense ..

I agree with this one-thousand percent. Especially in Christian communities, forced forgiveness is a way to allow mistreatment to continue.

I wrote a story about this a few months ago: https://elizabethgracemartinez.substack.com/p/toxic-positivity-and-the-lie-of-forgiveness
