How long does it take to let go of the hurtful words someone said about you?

Do you forgive and forget?
Do you let it pass?
Do you act normal after a few days?
How do you do it?
How do you block the feeling of being hurt?

With a new year just days away, do you really just let it go?

Forgiveness feels impossible when the hurt runs so deep. Letting go isn’t as easy as it seems; the pain lingers and often overshadows any hope for moving forward. Acting normal is just a mask I wear to get through each day. With the new year approaching, it’s hard to see anything but the weight of what’s been lost. It feels like there’s no real escape from this darkness.
