Learning to forgive yourself and those around you is an incredibly underrated skill, especially in our current social climate. When it comes to the individual, forgiveness is important and the most vital form of self-care. Growing up can be incredibly difficult because guilt and shame can build up over the course of a lifetime. We all make mistakes, and we all do things incorrectly; it’s the only way to truly grow and gain wisdom throughout our lives.

Growing Through Forgiveness

Forgiveness is important for nurturing relationships. The same way we (ideally) grow and learn throughout our lives, others do as well. It can be very hard to do that, and it is okay to accept that. There are some things that can be unforgivable for others, and it is their right (and their journey) to feel that way; however, there are many things that we can forgive. There are many things we learn to forgive as we age. Again, this is usually due to our understanding of ourselves and our growth.

Navigating Resentment in Today’s World

When we look at the world around us today, we can see a lot of resentment. This is the division that we see proliferating around us. We also know that people are lonelier than ever; yet, it still feels like no one is willing to go out into the world to rectify it.

Community and Connection: The Need for Forgiveness

The reality is: we can’t ignore the world around us. We cannot pretend it is not there. We cannot run away from our need for community. It is a human need, and it is a vital part to living a fulfilling and healthy life.

We can’t solve all the world’s problems in this blog post, but we can help you take the steps you need to grow into a life you deserve to live. A life filled with people you like, love, and cherish.

Best friends aren’t the only best friends to have; some friends we have simply because they enjoy movies as much as we do, or because they love the beach as much as we do. Maybe we don’t agree with everything they believe, maybe we don’t understand everything they’ve been through, but we love spending time with them.

Social Media and Relationships: The Challenge of Forgetting

Prior to social media, it was normal (and therefore unspoken) that each person in your life held a valuable place even if you weren’t the closest to them. People were more capable of discerning what worked for them and what was not. Their relationships would evolve over time for that same reason. Nowadays, with social media, it is very hard to forget other people and sometimes how they once made us feel. It may seem irrelevant, but there are many things that run through our minds when we see their faces flash across our screens–especially if we are being exposed to the highlight reels of their life.

What Forgiveness Truly Means

Forgiveness is not something that has to mean more than what it does; it does not mean to forget or ignore your boundaries. It simply means understanding that things happen that hurt us. People say things that hurt us, and that we were once living as a version of ourselves we are glad no longer exists.

When going into the world, it is vital to keep and have an open mind; however, what is consistently understated is that to keep an open mind requires the ability to move on.

Moving on begins with forgiving yourself, forgiving that sometimes life doesn’t meet your expectations, and then trying again.

We continuously grow every day, and it is important to honor that by surrounding yourself with people who understand you. It is also important to understand that it’ll be a continuous process throughout your life as you grow. Growing apart from people can hurt, but it doesn’t have to define the quality of your life.
