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

You don’t have to forget completely. That will serve as a reminder for you not to trust them again.

Forgiving is not about letting them off the hook. It is about releasing the pain and anger to hurt them back. It benefits you more than them.

@CookieCrumbs depends on the transgression. Here I block and forget. 😉

@TexChik
Oh, with online acquaintances, block and move on. No need to think about them again.

@CookieCrumbs don’t I know this. 🥰

@TexChik
But if they were your true friends, you’d never get to the point of blocking them. :)

I know this from experience.

@CookieCrumbs especially the not forgetting part. Some things you just won’t ever forget.
