I haven't forgotten, no, and to be honest I don't think I will.
But! ... I have forgiven. I've forgiven you, and you, and you ... ha, it seems not you ... just yet.
Alas, this act : the giving of forgiveness, is really the receiving of a gift. How light I feel. How free. I was angry, I was wounded : I was in pain. Now that pain is gone. It has been replaced with wisdom. It has been replaced with compassion. It has been replaced with presence.
How grateful I am to my past self for taking these acts. How indebted I am to my future self for giving me the guidance along the way.
Remember : anger hurts only those that hold it, who have you not forgiven? Whose pain are you still carrying?
Let it go
