You don't have to forgive them
About this episode
In this episode, Tianyi Li discusses the importance of recognizing that not everyone deserves forgiveness and the complexities of healing from toxic relationships.
Let’s be real—people love to say “forgive and forget,” but sometimes… nah. In this episode, I’m talking about the side of healing no one wants to admit: when someone hurts you and you don’t owe them forgiveness. Period. We get into the messy stuff—toxic exes, fake apologies, people who "changed" but only when it was convenient. I’m unpacking how I’ve learned (the hard way) that protecting your peace sometimes means walking away without the closure you thought you needed. This isn’t about being petty or holding a grudge—it’s about boundaries, self-worth, and realizing that not everyone deserves a second chance in your life. So if you’ve ever been told to “just move on” or felt guilty for not being ready to forgive someone who really did you dirty… this one’s for you.
