Forgive and forget

The saying says “forgive but never forget” but I’m telling you guys to forgive and forget. Forgiveness plays a big role in our everyday lives from us being kids to us being adults. It’s lowkey a way of life. But we were always told to forgive but never forget, yes you should forgive but holding on to whatever happened is toxic. Speaking from personal experiences, I forgave a lot of people in my past but I never forgot what they did. Past relationships, old friendships, personal family matters I forgave them all, but I started to notice how toxic I was becoming to those around me. I was still holding on to the past, I was still hurt and angry. With relationships I viewed all guys the same because of my past. I forgave the situations but I didn’t forget. So the same scenarios kept playing in my head and It was tainting me and I was becoming toxic. I’m saying forgive and forget for you, do it to become better and not toxic. I know the forgiving part isn’t the easiest but try to do both. Forget the past so you can move on to the future. You don’t deserve be toxic and stuck on the past. The people around don’t deserve it either. Forgive and forget.
