(from Harry’s POV)
And just like that I forgave my family.
How did it happen?
Well, it didn’t happen over night, I can tell you that.
It took a lot of strength and love.
I have come to realize that it’s human to make mistakes, as long as the mistakes are not severe, it can be forgiven if the other person is putting in as much effort as you.
One day, I just let it go and it didn’t hurt as much anymore.
It hurts with less intensity even now sometimes, I would be lying if I say it doesn’t hurt at all.
I still get fucked sometimes, but what I feel is a faint hurt and that’s kinda manageable.
I’m indifferent about other people who hurt me though.
I don’t think they deserve my forgiveness or attention or anything for that matter. Because there has been zero effort from their end.
I don’t want to hear their side of the story from someone else, I’m really not interested.
If they want to explain themselves and make it better, they should do it themselves. Because it is the effort and change that leads to forgiveness. Since those people lack both, I don’t think I want to give them my forgiveness, which is valuable and worth it’s weight in gold.
I have let it all go and found my peace. I worked really hard for it and it took everything in me to reach here and I have lost a lot of things too.
But I’m here and I like the view from here.
