Forgiven

Self-forgiveness comes after you've changed. That's the assumption.

That's not how it works.

It starts with an apology to yourself. No audience. Just you.

I'm sorry for the years I put everyone else first.

For the body I didn't take care of.

For the rest I never allowed myself.

For the voice I kept small because the room felt too big.

It doesn't take years. It takes a decision.

You don't forgive yourself because you became better.

You become better because you forgave yourself.
