Thinking about forgiveness and how so many people get hung up on it. Forgiveness is about the person forgiving not being bothered by the thing anymore, it's not about whoever did the thing being a better person or the bad thing not happening anymore.

The reason why the concept of "earning" forgiveness exists is because that's what it takes for a lot of people to stop caring about the perceived problem anymore. You stole my cookie and that upset me, but then you gave me a brownie so I forgive you because I have a tasty treat which is what I wanted to begin with. You stole my cookie and that upset me, but then you explained that you hadn't eaten anything all day so I decided your hunger mattered more than my craving. You stole my cookie and that upset me, but when you realized how it had hurt me you apologized and I felt that since you understood I was upset I no longer needed to be. All of these are "earning" forgiveness, but just as easily forgiveness can be given without it ever being earned.

You stole my cookie and that upset me, but I realized there's no need to keep carrying this particular hurt with me so I let it go. You stole my cookie and it had never really upset me to begin with.

Forgiveness is a choice that can be done at any time for any reason. Sometimes it's really hard to forgive and sometimes you never forgive. Sometimes forgiveness is a big show that both parties are aware of and sometimes forgiveness just quietly happens and the person being forgiven is never made aware they were.

There are some things that are petty and small that I have never forgiven and probably never will. There's also things that were awful and wrong that I have forgiven. Giving forgiveness is about the forgiver's feelings, not about what is morally right.

It feels nice to be forgiven, because no one likes being disliked. We want to be forgiven because we want to know the bad air has been cleared. You can't expect to be forgiven, or live your life striving for that forgiveness, though. As nice as it is, it's not about you, it's about their feelings. You can't force someone's feelings to change.

You shouldn't forgive someone just because someone wants you to. If you don't actually forgive them and stop being upset about the thing then you haven't actually forgiven them, you're just lying and hiding the hurt you feel. Then it festers. Then you think those that have wronged you have to pay a higher and higher price for the forgiveness to be "real". Because none of your forgiveness has been real. Then when people are forgiven or ask to be forgiven without paying the "right" price it just shines a light on how "fake" all the forgiveness had been before.

"I'm sorry" is a script we're all taught as children. Sometimes it's genuine admission of guilt and sometimes it's just the lines we've been conditioned to say. Sometimes that's all that's needed in order to be forgiven, genuine or not, and sometimes it won't be enough because either the forgiver desires something else or because they believe you're only saying the words and not the meaning.

I just feel like a lot of people would be a lot happier if they realized a transaction isn't a requirement of forgiveness and that forgiveness itself wasn't a requirement. I also feel like a lot of people have forgiven others or already have been forgiven without knowing it. It's just expected to be a show between the two parties instead of people simply moving on. So they worry about doing the forgiveness or not, or how to get the forgiveness, but it's already a moot point.

Forgiveness does not make you a better person, whether giving or receiving it. Sometimes you're forgiven, but they still dislike you for other things. Sometimes they forgive you, but other don't. Sometimes you're not forgiven, but they still like you.

Bruh, so I was going to a tailor because the tux I have has shoulders that are meant for classic men’s shoulders and mine do not fit, but it fits in every other way and I love it. So I’m at the tailor and she’s measuring me, I should mention I’m here with my mom, and the tailor is marking out where she would adjust the shoulders with a bit of chalk when she like gets an idea. She goes behind me and tugs a bit at the back of my suit jacket, then she sticks in a Bobby pin for later reference. Now this pulls at the shoulders an makes them look actually alright and I love it, however she almost immediately begins tugging more cloth and when she’s done I realize that she had pulled the fabric around my waist to be form fitting. I looked really feminine in the jacket now. I really didn’t like it. But my mom was ooing and ahing and the shoulders were better now so I kind of bared with it. It’s so small and stupid and I guess it looks nice and no one would notice and I love this jacket so much but oh my god. Like I’ve been on the verge of tears for a hot second.
