Forgiveness is for You

Forgiveness doesn't always come easy, especially when the offending party doesn't ask for it. Gay roommates Daniel (Gen X) and Julio (Gen Z) explore moments where they've offered up forgiveness in their lives and when they've withheld it. They also discuss ways to make forgiving others easier and why it's important for YOU to forgive.

I might be a human oddity in relation to forgiveness. Even when I was a kid, I would refuse to do anything that I might feel bad about or be upset about afterward. That led to me being forced to do a lot of things my parents wanted me to do, but that felt different than if I chose to do things. It took me a long time to understand people who don't think that way. I still find myself wanting to smack some people and ask why they did something. I have a difficult time believing a lot of people are truly sorry and deserve forgiveness. I understand the idea that it's for the forgiver and not the forgiven, but the fact that people are capable of doing awful things to each other and do them with impunity makes it almost impossible to forgive. I think that if you act like the act never happened that you are forgiving, you leave it open to be harmed again.

Forgiveness isn't always deserved and doesn't always need to be given... UNLESS it's dragging you down. If finding a way to forgive the unforgiveable benefits you, then it's the right move to make. But nonetheless, it's a journey!
