Oh wow. Thank you for giving my piece a shoutout, Shirley. Forgiving came for me with time and the realization that holding onto anger and blame took away my power and well-being. Thank you for this eye-opening article. I saw myself in you with your seat-saving anxiety. Our ever-growing awareness of our reaction to life is our best teacher. And we can change—we are changing. Change takes time, humor, and heavy doses of self-compassion. We got this, Shirley. 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
