Forgiven.

Forgiveness. "forgive and forget. forgive and forget." We grew up thinking that forgiving means slightly rekindling fires and dropping the bitter tension with someone that had hurt us, emotionally or physically. Forgiveness had such an empty definition and was so simple to use and throw around back then. Then as you get older, when you gain more pride and knowledge, forgiveness doesn't come so easy to do when someone hurts you. It becomes more of a bitter act of thought and pain that can sometimes overpower your mind and stress you out.
And sometimes, in the end, you just forgive them because holding a grudge that means little to nothing five years down the road somehow and somewhere takes a toll on you. so you forgive, not because you want to be the best of friends with them again but because you want to kill that little evil memory cell that roams around in your mind making you feel bitter everytime you think about it. So forgive them, in some but most cases, not for them but for yourself because forgiving means freeing your mind, doing it for yourself, and having one less thing to stress off of.
Forgive but NEVER forget.
