I do tend to forgive, as I believe dragging this type of weight benefits absolutely no one, but I do not forget and would rather carry on a separate path. I hardly ever allow the person back into my life, but in the rare cases I actually do, they remain on the sidelines as to not occupy the same spot again.
I’m kinda sensitive, you know... I’m the type who forgives, yes, but resentment makes me hold back a little. However, sometimes I don’t think it’s necessary to forgive in order to move on.
I can forgive people, yeah. But forgiveness and access are two completely different things. Some people think saying “I forgive you” means everything goes back to normal, but sometimes it just means I’m tired of carrying all those shitty feelings around and I need some kind of closure.
It depends on what they did, too. If it was something stupid, maybe we can move on for good. But if you betray me in a way that changes how I see you, it’s permanent, because there’s no way I would trust you EVER again.
When I forgive someone, I mean it. I’m actually capable of burying what happened and leaving it in the past. But that doesn’t always mean I still want that person in my life.
