FORGIVING MYSELF
Learning to Sit with Myself
Prayers for Shame, Mercy, and Self-Return


There are mistakes we can explain,
and others we replay quietly for years.
Moments that return when the world grows still,
asking to be faced — not fixed.
This short book is for those moments.

Learning to Sit with Myself is a quiet, intimate reflection on self-forgiveness — not as absolution, but as presence. It does not rush toward self-love or demand closure. Instead, it stays with the difficult middle: where shame lingers, grace feels undeserved, and the hardest work is learning not to abandon yourself.

Through a series of poetic reflections and prayer-like meditations, this book explores:

• making peace with your past self
• facing the parts of yourself you avoid
• releasing the myth of perfection
• beginning again without erasing what happened
• learning from failure without becoming defined by it
• practicing patience on the days forgiveness feels out of reach

This is not a book about excusing mistakes.
It is not a guide to becoming someone new.
And it does not promise relief on demand.

It is a companion for those learning how to remain present after regret,
how to offer mercy without denial,
and how to stay with themselves long enough for healing to unfold.

Written for thoughtful readers seeking peace over performance, this short read is best approached slowly — opened in quiet moments, returned to when the inner voice grows harsh, and closed when stillness feels possible again.

Forgiveness, here, is not resolution.
It is the courage to stop running.
