I Forgive You Letter

A letter forgiving an ex boyfriend for breaking her heart.

Dear Hamish,

I forgive you.
I forgive you for breaking my heart.
I had to learn to unlove you one second, one minute, one hour, one day at a time.
I didn't know it would take years, I didn't realize it would take this long. You hurt me deeply and broke me in so many places when you left without a word. I had to fight my way to find myself back. I know I will never be the same again, I know I will never be fully whole, and that's okay too.


You don't have to explain yourself or your reasons for leaving me. All of us are human, scared of failing and weak for wanting something else entirely and somehow it makes me wonder if there was love at all. I struggled with anger and deep resentment for a time and I do not want those kinds of feelings ruling my life like a disease. Forgiveness is the best way to find the path to true happiness.

I wish you well to whatever life you have now.

Learning to Forgive Letter

My Dearest Lotte,

It's tough I know.

It takes time to forgive. It takes time to be strong. Take it a day at a time, it's just one of those things you can't force, you can just hope that one day it grows back into love. Its up to you to allow it to happen.

Forgiveness sometimes is not just about the other person, but finding peace for yourself, finding closure for all the pain you went through. Sometimes holding onto hate is just harmful, so learn to let go, do not wait till your love runs dry. We have frailties like everyone else, and on some days we have to deal with that flash of resentment or unhelpful intrusive thoughts. It gets bad, sure. We're all vulnerable like that. There isn't a right or wrong answer to get to that road of forgiveness. But I really do hope you both get to where you need to be.

Be strong with the choice you make.

Love,
May
