“But I learned through those years that you choose your own happiness, and you have to put the past behind you. It’s over with, and all it does is eat you up if you let it.” “Your husband was a jerk. I admire you for saying you put it behind you. Is that true?” Tiffany asked, unsure how anyone could put the cheating of their husband and the breakup with their family behind them with no bitterness. “It is. Because if I don’t put that behind me, if I let that bother me, I’m not punishing him. I’m punishing myself. He doesn’t give a flip whether I’m still angry at him or not. But my anger eats me. That’s why forgiveness is so important.” Maybe no one ever explained it to her quite like that before, or maybe she just had refused to listen. But it made sense. Forgiving someone was less about letting them get away with it and more about freeing herself to not be bitter and angry and not allow those emotions to destroy her health and her peace of mind. “My forgiveness needs to be pointed more directly at myself than anyone around me. I made a lot of stupid mistakes that hurt myself.” Tiffany”
