How I did it: One step at a time. There are many people I needed to forgive including myself. Forgiving myself is the hardest. Whenever I was at a point of forgiving myself, I held back and told myself that I wasn't ready.

But then I keep praying and praying to God. This Ramadhan 1430 H, I went for Umrah. In Makkah and Madinah, I prayed to God and ask for God's help to help me destroyed the wall I've built around my heart, so I can start fogiving and living my life.

Now, I feel more alive and free yet at the same time I feel vulnerable. but it feels great.

Lessons & tips: One step at a time, one moment at a time. Have faith and keep praying.

Resources: Friends, Family, Books, Prayers, Al-Qur'an, Emotional Healing Therapy.
