i think some of the best love stories are formed from a place of forgiveness. not in a “oh, this person is a horrible monster, but i forgive them for what they do” way, but rather “one/both of us did something that was wrong or hurtful, and after taking the time to heal and grow, we learned to hold each other accountable for our actions and to love each other”. there’s something so beautiful about grace anyway, but relationships that are built on it have such a wonderful quality to them.
