Thoughts and feelings

Forgive, Forget

We forgive and we forget. We love and we hate. We cry and we laugh. We're human and it's what humans do.
Don't you like not having that burden on your shoulders if not forgiving but hating this whole time? I know that I do. Without that burden, I have seen my life open up and shine more in my eyes showing me the things that I couldn't see while I'm hating on people and not forgiving. You don't have to forgive, you don't have to laugh, you don't have to love, but it's all up to you. Do you want to grow up and continue to hate the person that you hated at the age of 17? Do you want to be 25 and still have that burden and still talk about them online acting like you're 17 again? (Haha the movie "17 again"). So sit back for a moment and think about how your life can be if you let go and just forgive. Forgive yourself, that person, strangers, family, whoever that caused you pain at one point in your lifetime.
What I always say no matter the hurt that was caused towards you, "Love like you never been hurt and laugh like you never laugh before."
Some people won't forgive due to what has been said and what has been done and they won't forget about it either but in all honesty, at-least moving past it and being at common grounds isn't a bad thing that people make it out to be. You don't have to forgive, nor do you have to forget but be that person to just stop and move past it. Be that bigger person.
Laugh to show that other person that you're happy and moving on.
Love to show that other person that nothing can stop you and break you.
Be you and never look back.
Others will want to keep the drama going. Others will looking at you stupid and judge you for forgiving that person but it's YOUR LIFE. Do whatever makes you happy. Not others. They will want you to continue the mess and not forgive but it's your choice to do so. So don't let others determine your decision in the end. It's your life and you're the one going through the mess. Not them.
We're all human. We will make mistakes and that's on us to accept what has happened and it's on us to forgive ourselves and others around us. We might not like what had happened but it's in the past and we can't change it. We have to accept it. We need to find a way to forgive. We need a way to forget.

This passage is probably all over the place and I'm sorry. I came up with this passage because I recently just started to forgive people and move past it all because i got tired of being an adult in the middle of drama. I won't forget it but someday I will but for now, I'm on common grounds with the people and they are the same with me.
