Forgive and Forget
One of my Teachers in Life, Shakirra Khan, taught me something like this:
"You know the old saying, Forgive and Forget, well that saying never felt right to me until I learned about the Other way of Looking at those Words:
For-Give and For-Get. Like I'm For-Giving back to the other person all those hurtful & spiteful words. Not that I'm going to actually say anything to them, it's that I'm going to Release my Feelings of hurt & pain that I Felt at their Words. Then I'm For-Getting my Personal Power back that I'd Given to them at the time."
