The older I get, the more I realize: Most people who hurt others are deeply hurting themselves. That doesn’t excuse abuse. It doesn’t make harmful behavior acceptable. But understanding where pain comes from changes the way we carry it. Because resentment keeps many people emotionally chained to the very thing that wounded them. And eventually… That pain starts affecting every area of life: • relationships • mental health • physical health • nervous system regulation • self-worth Forgiveness is not pretending something didn’t happen. It’s deciding you no longer want to carry the poison forever. That’s where freedom begins. #NathanCrane #RadicalAwakening #Forgiveness #HealingJourney #EmotionalHealing #TraumaHealing #InnerPeace #SelfAwareness #MindBodyHealing #SpiritualGrowth
