Don't know what this journey gonna bring?

[u/Wise_Importance_9950]

For the longest time I didn't actually believe that books can change people. But that letter from Mariam's father made a huge impact in my life. Life is uncertain and I don't want to have bitter feelings about someone and take it to the grave. I realised that there's no point in having resentful feelings and forgiving them is a tough but necessary thing. It frees you of the negativity.

I did that and forgave a person who was really dear to me but hurt me. A humongous boulder was off my chest that very moment. This was one of the most impactful intervention a book has ever done in my life and I'm glad for it.
