We’ve all been hurt at some point in our life. And likely, we’ve all hurt somebody else too. For some reason, we seem to carry this burden around with us for far too long. For reasons unbeknownst to me, we seem to find it really hard to say sorry, and even harder to forgive when we have been wronged.

Saying sorry costs us nothing, and yet it is often built up to be an admission of guilt or a sign of weakness. And so often, when we do finally muster up the courage, we will often do it begrudgingly or just plain badly.

We seem to think that forgiving somebody is “letting them off the hook”. We think that forgiveness is for the other person, when in reality it’s very much for us. We carry around anger for far too long, thinking that the person who hurt us doesn’t “deserve” our forgiveness. But asking if they deserve forgiveness is the wrong question. Ask instead, as the injured party – do YOU deserve to move on? And can you truly do so, until you forgive the other?

This website a labour of love. An idea that was swimming around in my head for many years – that there should be a place where you can anonymously write out apologies and notes of forgiveness, even if you’re not quite ready to say it to the other person directly. The idea is that writing down your thoughts will help you collect and organize your thoughts, provide some catharsis, and perhaps give readers some solace that they’re not alone in their own hurt; that its maybe time for them to take the step too.

Wishing you peace, love and serenity.
