To forgive and forget. Forgiveness is hard, but forgetting is even harder. I think I forgive people very easily, maybe too easily. But how many times should I forgive a person? I guess it depends on how I feel about them. If you forgive someone too many times does that mean they never learn their lesson? I have trouble with the forgetting part. The event will play in my mind over and over again and I can't get it out of my head. I want the person to feel just as bad as I did, and to hurt and experience the pain that I felt. But if I want that, then is that really forgiving them. The only way to truly receive forgiveness in my eyes is to prove yourself again. Whether it was a best friend who betrayed you or a family member who left you, they need to prove to you why they should be let back into your life and why they deserve to have you in theirs. If they end up showing me that they are someone that I can consider a part of my life again then I would be happy to have them there, but I will most likely never forget the pain they caused and the hurt I felt because of their actions. I've learned that time can make things better; it can ease the pain, and if enough time passes then maybe I can start to forget. But I wish that I could fast forward time so I could forget everything right now. Forget things that happened, forget how I felt, and just forget everything.
