I am not big on the word "forgiveness" because I feel like it's really unclear what it means. Like, how do you forgive someone? How do you forgive yourself? I did a bunch of research into it a while back, and the resources I found that actually described the process sounded more like something that happens to you over time than something you actively do: you become less emotionally affected by what happened, for example.

You can prevent yourself from forgiving by actively holding onto resentment or torturing yourself with guilt, but if you stop doing those things, that doesn't mean forgiveness happens immediately, you know? It just clears the way for forgiveness to take place.
