We've all been hurt at some point in our lives. The pain and damage a certain person has caused us has followed us and not allowed us to move forward the way we want to move forward. Forgiveness is the key to freedom. When we forgive the person, we have allowed ourselves to start the healing process to be a better person and to move forward from the situation. If you need to release yourself from the anger, pain, sorrow or sadness someone has caused you, please write them a letter. You don't need to give it to them, but at least the words you had in your head of telling them will be put out there on a piece of paper that you can burn, throw away or give it to them if you wish. This will help you start the healing process, but of course it will take time to heal completely, but at least you've taken the first step to free yourself from the pain they have caused you by forgiving them.
