Better late than never, right? :/
"When you hold resentment toward another, you are bound to that person or condition by an emotional link that is stronger than steel. Forgiveness is the only way to dissolve that link and get free." ~ Cathering Ponder
Is there someone you would like to forgive but just can't? I think most of us do. It's not easy, but it's important to remember that forgiving is not saying what they did was okay. It's just saying I'm not going to be chained to you and this resentment any longer.
In your journal paint a background that "sets the stage" for your resentment. Over the background, draw, sketch, paint or glue an image in that represents the hurt you experienced but haven't been able to forgive. Leave enough room to write on the page.
Write about the hurt. Get it all out. Then write your thoughts on forgiving the person who caused the hurt. Try to be open to the possibility of forgiving. Just let yourself imagine it. Write how that feels. Is it scary? Does it make you angry? Can you imagine what you'd feel if you did forgive them?
