Forgiving, but not forgetting .

We've all had other hurt us in our lives. Whether is was something they said to us, about us, or something they did to us. The pain is normal to feel, but we can't let it affect our lives forever. If someone has done you wrong, you shouldn't waste your time dwelling on it & being upset over it, they should. To move on from a bad experience with a person you must forgive them. Sometimes we feel like people aren't  deserving of our forgiveness when really forgiving them is more beneficial to us then it is to the one that hurt us.  Just because you're forgiving someone doesn't mean you have to let that person back into your life. Forgiving someone is more about coming to peace with yourself about what happened. It's saying to yourself "What this person did to me is wrong, but its over now, I'm done worry about it. I'm going to learn & grow from this & move on." Once you do this, you can finally be happy with yourself & your life.
