How do how do you let go of something that means so much to you? The answer is simple you don't let go you forget. How do you forgive someone for how they treated you? The answer is still the same you don't forgive you forget. Why are all the answers in life forget? I was once asked. My answer was simple... We forget so we don't have to relive the pain that someone or something caused us. We forget because we were raised that it is better to act like no one has hurt you. We forget because it is easier to forget than to forgive. We forget because we were taught that it's not okay to create conflict and express how we feel. The answer never will change it will always be forget and forget it will stay until we see the damage that it has done and is doing.
