I forgive — not to forget.
Forgiveness is not erasure.
It is clarity.
I forgive to free my heart, not to rewrite the truth.
What happened mattered.
What it taught me stays.
Forgiveness loosens the grip of pain,
but memory keeps the wisdom.
One heals the wound.
The other guards the boundary.
This is how peace and self-respect learn to coexist.
