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?

I try to forgive not for them, but for my own peace. I don’t always forget, but I try not to let it control my days. I give myself some time to let it pass. Letting go of hurtful words isn’t always easy, and it takes as long as it takes.
