Forgiveness is a choice. It doesn't mean that you forget or you say what someone did was ok. You choose to forgive for what was done to you - real or perceived.
Holding on to hatred is pervasive - it doesn't just focus anger and bitterness towards one person - it colours everything. If you can't give it up, it will impact everything you see, touch, hear and experience.
Saying that you need someone to "do something different" before you can forgive them is giving someone else the responsibility that you hold. They do not have the power to make you forgive them, it's exclusively your choice. Your solution lies in your own accountability.
