and tell them how you feel

“There’s a difference between forgiving and forgetting.” -Maddie Townsend

Yes, there is a difference between these two. We will eventually forgive people for what they have said or done, but we will never forget if the things said and done were hurtful and mean.

We are human, we have emotions, we are emotional human beings, and things said or done can hurt us deeply, and it can take us time to recover, and therefore we will always remember them, even when years will go by.

And there is nothing we can do about it, just move forward and forgive when we can, when we have the strength to forgive. Because sometimes, forgiving somebody can take a lot of strength from us and therefore some time to do so.

Don’t be afraid to talk to people and tell them how you feel, but in the process, remember to explain yourself in a way where you don’t hurt them. We can use our words and our thought process carefully, so we don’t do any harm.

Life is full of hardships and hard conversations, but when we gather ourselves and when we think through what we are trying to say, we can say things in a way so everyone can understand them and not be hurt by them.

A great thing to have, a great way to go about this life is in a way where we are trying to be considerate of how others may feel, but always remembering ourselves as a priority, because nobody else knows what is going on in our lives, hearts, and minds.
