Redemption
Merriam-Webster:
The action of saving or being saved from sin, error, or evil. The action of regaining or gaining possession in exchange for payment, or clearing a debt.
Quintessential Voyage:
The action of recovery and clearing of pain, debt, negative energy. Regaining control of your emotions and directing life where you want it to go.
There is something to be said about seeking redemption from God. This redemption is focused on the more secular form of recovering relationships with others and yourself.
Think back over your past relationships, the ones where you broke it off for simple incompatibility and the ones where a catastrophic event caused the schism between you two. You may not always be at fault in those instances. Relationships (both platonic and romantic) when they end, they rarely end on positive grounds. This definition is pretty straightforward with little need to really read into what it may mean in current terms.
With this definition lies a challenge. Go think back over your past relationships, redeem yourself in one of them even if you're not at fault. Give them forgiveness, ask for forgiveness. Pat the shovel on the grave of your partnership and bury it behind you to give it closure. Redemption can give both of you a certain closure and can wash away caked-on negative emotions towards them.
Guaranteed, dropping the weight of negative emotions from past or current relationships and redeeming one another will make you feel much better. A lighter load on your conscience, your heart, and in your journey, it makes your trek through life easier and keeps anything from holding you back.
