It is always about you. Responsibility is about making a choice to feel more vibrant. It is your responsibility to move out of past hurts and into the true bliss of the present, without the excess baggage of condemnation. Forgiveness is the freeing of the self from the past, and facing the future wiser, with renewed hope and faith. Forgiveness is an unconditional gift of love. This doesn\u2019t mean \u201cI will forgive you if or when\u201d, but \u201cI forgive you because I must if I ever hope to continue my own healing.\u201d"}
