Certainly, forgiveness shouldn't be forced. There's no one like you to know how much you've been hurt and whether someone deserves that forgiveness or not. Just as even when forgiving, it's possible to keep your distance because once trust is lost, it's difficult to regain it. Without a doubt, self-love is reflected in prioritizing yourself, being happy with the person you are, the value we have, and the time we give. Otherwise, it's better to walk away. And yes, caring begins with yourself. Thank you for sharing your experiences, friend,
