At one point or another, someone has done something wrong to hurt you in some sort of way. Whether it's intentional or not, we get hurt, and they apologize. But, the age old question is, if we decide to forgive them for their wrong doing, do we always forget what they did, or hold some kind of wall up against them, so that they can no longer hurt us in any shape or form.
Holding walls against someone who hurt you can do many things. First of all, if you block yourself off and away from that person, than you are blocking yourself away from getting hurt again by them, making a wall of some sort so that way you can never feel the pain that they have done to you again.
But what if they truely act like they are sorry for what they have done? What if deep down inside, they really mean it? What if after many second chances, or even third chances, you just want to say, "screw you, I don't need you around to hurt me, and make feel random emotions that don't make sense."
Unfortunaly, these are decesions, us the victims have to make, on whether or not that person deserves that second chance, or even that forteenth chance. But, even if we do forgive them, will we ever forget the hurt that they have caused us in the past? Can we ever truely start over with a clean slate, after one has hurt the other one too many times?
