“Do I really want to share this information about my personal life with this person or am I just craving validation regarding my perspective/stance on it?” is a beautiful question and I’ve been less of a chatterbox ever since I started asking it

“어릴 때 좀 힘든 시절을 보냈어요. 13살 때 미국에 이민을 갔는데 말도 안 통하고 가자마자 부모님이 이혼하셨거든요. 엄마가 재혼하면서 새아빠가 생겼고, 친아빠는 거의 제 삶에 없으셨죠. 부모님의 선택에 의해 아이들이 상처받는 부분들이 있잖아요. 그런 환경에서 자라면서 상처투성이에 제가 좀 모나고 까칠했죠. 그때 받은 상처가 바로 치유된 건 아니었어요. 저도, 부모님 간에도 서로 상처가 많은데 얘기를 꺼냈다가 더 큰 상처가 될 수도 있으니까. 어른이 되고 제 마음에도 여유가 생기고 나서야 부모님하고 속 얘기를 많이 했어요. 어떤 얘기들은 몇 년 동안 고민하다가 꺼내기도 했어요. 지금은 관계가 정말 좋아요. 부모님도 서로 관계가 좋으시고요.” “부모님을 용서하게 된 계기가 있었나요?” “그분들이 하는 행동 때문에 용서한 게 아니었어요. 내가 그 사람한테 ‘미안해’ 이 소리를 들어야 용서하는 게 아니라, 그런 말이나 행동을 보여주시기 이전에 먼저 용서를 했어요. 그러고 나서 그런 얘기들을 나눈 거예요. 사랑은 자기가 겪지 못하면 줄 수가 없잖아요. 주변 사람들의 관심이나 따뜻함에서 내가 사랑을 느꼈으니까 그 사랑을 똑같이 보여주자고 마음먹었죠. 그래서 용서했어요. 누구를 막 미워하면 자기만 괴로운데, 어떻게 보면 용서는 내가 나를 자유롭게 해주는 거거든요.”

“I had a difficult childhood. I immigrated to the U.S. at thirteen, and not only could I not communicate with anyone, but my parents got a divorce as soon as we got there. My mom remarried and I suddenly had a stepdad, and after that my real dad was not really in my life. There are choices parents make that hurt their kids. Growing up in that kind of environment, I was emotionally wounded and quite difficult to deal with. Those wounds didn’t heal right away. There was a lot of pain between my parents and me, and talking would have just deepened these wounds. It was only after I became an adult and found my own sense of self that I started talking about my feelings with my parents. Some things took years to bring up to them. Now, we really have a good relationship. And my parents have a good relationship with each other, too.” “What made you forgive your parents?” “Me forgiving them wasn’t in response to something they did. It wasn’t like they said sorry and I forgave them, but instead I chose to forgive them first before they had a chance to say or do anything. It was only after that that we started to talk about all of these things. You can’t give love if you haven’t received it. I made up my mind to show my parents the same love and warmth I had felt from the people around me. So I forgave them. If you hate someone, you’re the only one who suffers, but through forgiveness you can free yourself.”
