When Time Feels Stuck

Have you ever felt trapped in a moment
Unable to move past a mistake or regret?
This story is for anyone who’s holding onto pain,
Wondering if forgiveness is even possible.
 

The Broken Clock

Raj found an old clock in his grandmother’s attic.
It was cracked, its hands frozen at 3:15.

He remembered the fight he’d had with his sister years ago.
Words said in anger that never got undone.
Since then, time seemed to stop between them.

One evening, Raj sat with the clock in his hands.
He realized the clock couldn’t move forward until he let go of the past.

He called his sister.
They talked slowly, carefully
Sharing apologies and tears.

By the end, Raj felt a weight lift.
The broken clock still didn’t tick.
But now, it was a symbol a reminder that healing starts with forgiveness.

 

Why This Story Matters

Sometimes, time feels stuck because of unresolved pain.
But forgiveness opens the door to moving forward.
This story reminds us:
Healing begins when we choose to forgive ourselves and others.

 

Take This With You Today:

You don’t have to carry old wounds forever.
Letting go doesn’t mean forgetting.
It means freeing yourself to heal.

 

Healing Reminder for You

If you’re holding onto hurt today,
Remember:
Forgiveness is a gift you give yourself.
You deserve peace.

 

Life Lesson: Moving Forward Through Forgiveness
