Difference between letting go and forgiveness

I struggle with this because I didn’t know that yes I forgave but why couldn’t I move forward why can’t I love him or see him in a different light well that because pain not that I was healing to be honest I just held on to it. I don’t want to give it up it was my way of paying back the brokenness he caused me. But that only pushed me away from God and that right there is the problem. So I had to decided not to just forgive but to let go.

Healing doesn’t always require forgiveness.
Sometimes healing looks like choosing peace over closure. Sometimes it looks like accepting the apology you’ll never receive. Sometimes it looks like loving yourself enough to walk away. You can forgive someone and still decide they no longer have access to your life. Protect your peace

Letting go isn’t forgetting—it’s choosing peace over pain. You are allowed to move forward, even if the past didn’t give you closure. Holding onto resentment won’t heal you. Forgiveness isn’t about them—it’s about freeing yourself. Let go for your own peace. #positiveenergy #lemon8challen
