Dear ****
I forgive you for taking out your frustrations on me. I forgive you for mistaking my concern over our friendship as harassment. I forgive you for misunderstanding me so, so much, and blowing everything out of proportion to the point where everything is confusing for you. I forgive you for making me feel absolutely horrendous, and I forgive you for the things you said about me.
I forgive you. Not for you, but for me. I forgive you because hate is just another way of holding on, and you don’t belong here any more.*

Dear ****
I forgive you for lashing out at me. I forgive you completely misunderstanding who I am, even though you don’t know me in the slightest. I forgive you for the things you’ve said about me, both to my face, and behind my back. I forgive you for not believing in me. I forgive you for trying to silence me, for trying to make me smaller, for trying to tell me my dreams weren’t valid.
I forgive you. Not for you, but for me. I forgive you because hate is just another way of holding on, and you don’t belong here any more.*
