I have punished myself for so long...

I have held on to ill feelings and misgivings far too long...

I finally have come to understand how not forgiving really only causes distress in my life...

The anguish I have heaped upon myself by harboring discontent for those whom I perceived to have done me wrong...

After realizing that I am the only one who suffered though my unwillingness to forgive, I have chosen to free myself of the oppressive weight of resistance...

Those who have wronged me have never lost a minute of their lives because I chose not to forgive them...

Most could care less whether I forgave them or not...

So forgiveness is for my benefit...

It has not to do with them or what they did...

It is solely to free me from the unnecessary anguish of holding on to the negative energy that unforgivingness stores in abundance...

I have forgiven myself...

In doing so, I have forgiven all others...
