Your anger.

It's Not Reconciliation
You can:
Forgive:
And:
- Keep them blocked

It's Not Forgetting
You remember:
What happened.
You just:
Don't carry:
The emotional weight:
Anymore.
It's Not For Them
They don't even need:
To know:
You've forgiven them.
It's:
An internal process.
For you.
How to Forgive Without Reconciling
Release the anger.
Keep the lesson.
Maintain the distance.
You can:
- Wish them well from afar
- Hope they grow
- Release the resentment
AND:
Never let them:
Near you again.
That's forgiveness.
