How to forgive
or get over it?
I couldn’t come up with an answer so asked friends and read stuff online. These are my favorite answers that really got a firm grip of my heart.
1) “Get drunk.”
2) “I don’t forgive. I try to understand.”
3) “Was it a heartbreak? Find a good person. You will then be able to let go.”
4) “Forgive yourself for accepting something [or someone] beneath you.”
5) “Be a better person so a good person will notice you. Be surrounded by those who appreciate you.”
6) “Just forget it.”
7) “Remember that forgiving makes you a better person.”
8) “Let time take its time.”

9) “It’s okay to be angry and bitter.”
10) “It took me two years.”
11) “Take your broken heart, make it into art.”
12) [In an upbeat voice] “Let it all out. It feels better after a good cry.”
13) “Name the pain, but you don’t have to know why something happened.”
14) “We hurt people too. Try being in their shoe and imagine how much it would mean to be forgiven.”
15) “Keep yourself busy. Watch a movie or hang out with friends.”
16) “Meet new people or stay in a new environment.”
17) “It’s not a big deal. Keep smiling!”
There is no limit to how much we can sink. But that also means there is no ceiling to happiness.
People wrong you, but others make you happy.
It’s hard, but we have to forgive and push them away to let the positive energy in. They will be out of your life if you stop thinking about them.
Let’s choose to be happy. After all, forgiveness is the best revenge.
