“You forgive what you can, when you can. That's all you can do.

To forgive does not mean overlooking the offense and pretending it never happened.

It is an act of letting go so that we ourselves can go on.”
― Sue Monk Kidd, The Dance of the Dissident Daughter: A Woman's Journey from Christian Tradition to the Sacred Feminine
