forgiving does not mean forgetting
forgiving someone is a powerful act. it does not mean you'll now forget what he did, nor take him back. it just means that you're brave enough to let go, to move on, and let the past handle itself.
forgiving is a powerful word. it does not come off easy on one's mouth. it does not come off often. it only comes off once or twice, the most. and it's not for him. it's for you, your self, your heart and your broken soul.
forgiving does not make you look weak. it makes you stronger and tougher. it will help you fix yourself. it will help you be independent again. it will let you regain your self worth.
forgiving does not mean forgetting. forgiving means understanding, accepting and moving forward despite remembering everything. it means rebuilding yourself. it means bettering yourself. it can and means a lot of things, but never in a million years will it be forgetting.
