I don’t know much but I’ve made a few decisions lately. This might be helpful for anyone who’s in the same place I was in the past. I’ve been to hell and back since my accusation 5 years ago. I’ve lost friends and opportunities. I’m still an easy target for anyone to say anything they want about me, and they do.

But I’ve been getting consistent psychological help recently, and things have mentally started to shift in my favour. Being left alone for so long will at least give a person time to reflect on yourself and grow where you need to. I’m not perfect but I know I’m right about who I am and what I’m capable of doing. When you can centre yourself and back yourself, it’s time to forgive. Even if your accusers or detractors aren’t sorry, it’s vital for you to move on.

There are people out there who won’t allow me to be happy, given the chance. That’s their cross to bear now. Learning to forgive my detractors is something I can do because I’m right. My accuser burnt her bridges long ago, and I’ve pitied her for ages now. People like that need to make you the villain because so they can feel like a hero. That’s a shortcoming on them. You can put that down and walk away.

I’d urge people to try it. Anger will age you and make you bitter. You don’t need that.
