How do you forgive and forget?
Or forget and forgive? Or forgive? Or forget?
I still dream of stabbing some people right between the eyes and it's been years

it doesn't happen if they apologize
it happens when you decide that the anger you carry isn't worth the energy.
whatever happened happened - you can't undo it
you can't forget it
but hatred and anger - unless you are right there in the room with them beating the over the head - is only experienced by you.
and so if you get to the point where you don't get any value for that anger - you let it go
you accept that it happened and they may or may not be sorry
you aren't being "the bigger person" - you are just using your energy for something that will bring you more joy.
I hope you find it.
