When I feel hurt by someone personally, I can forgive but it's the forget part that's hardest for me....working on it but sometimes can't let it go.
Any tips - how do you deal/cope?!
No problem forgiving, but I don't forget, nor do I want to. I view it more as a built-in protective mechanism..to ensure it doesn't happen again...but I don't carry it like baggage..more like a reference desk if that makes any sense? These days, my circle is very small very tight of trusted souls who have never burned me...everyone else is frosting and sprinkles UNTIL
