Forgive and Forget

"Forgive and Forget" these are the common words we hear when some of our so-called friends always say whenever they try to comfort us in times of despair. I don't know. But for me these do not apply in reality. As long as there is a scar left within us, painful experiences will never be forgotten. Scars can't be easily erased and so are our experiences. Our experiences will then be the memories that we either cherish or forever will hate. And just like scars, memories will remain as is, but the "exact" feeling of hatred, hurt, and the tears shed will never be felt again. Similar situation might happen again, but some of us learn already from our mistakes and now try to face it and are standing firm to withstand the hurt that penetrates against us. Some successfully survives and remains standing still, while others fall on their knees once again.

It is very easy to forgive someone because I know it is not mainly his/her fault why he/she was able to do such things. There are lot of factors affecting each and everyone's decisions, no matter how we deny it. This may be of free will or you were just forced to do such because it is needed.

The only thing that we could do now is to learn how to move on. We still have our lives ahead of us. Let us just always keep in mind that the person who have hurt you and made you cry is not the only person who cares for you right now. You have your friends around you, your family, the great one, and there is still one person waiting for you somewhere around the corner. Nobody knows who this someone is. But we also don't know, you might have met him/her already it's just that both of you just need more time to realize it.

Never forget what you've been through. But don't make it a reason for you not to move on and make your self suffer more. Let it be a memory, a memory that will give you courage and strength to move on and an experience for you to learn upon. Learn from your mistakes, and try your very best to overcome it so the same mistake would never happen again.
