Forgive and Forget

It is easy to forgive than to forget.

But I’ve heard a saying said that if I do not forget, that means I’m not yet forgive that person. Is it? I do not know, maybe there is a truth there. But it is not easy to forget something that is very hurtful, and that’s the reason I get angry and thus raising the need from the other party to ask for forgiveness. I’m afraid if I forgot about it, the same thing will happen again and I become hurt again. Thus, it become harder for me to forgive again. So, what should I do then? 

To not forgive and letting go, I'm putting a lot of things at risk. Friendship, connection and family ties if it include families member. Too many things is being jeopardize. And as a Muslim myself, it is discouraged to shut off a connectionn beween people. Therefore, as hard as it is, I have to persuade myself to forgive and letting it go. I know the same things will be bound to happen again, and I have no choice, but to face it. But when the next same thing happen, I'm ready and prepare to face it. 

Things happen for a reason and there must be something good out of the things that happen. Believe the good things will happen to those who do good. Hei, why bother about something that hurting you? It will be much better to focus on things that will make you happy and you getting pleasure out of it. Whatever it is, just walk on and pursue the happiness that you deserve it.

What People Don’t Understand About Those Struggling with Low Self-Esteem

  Living with low self-esteem isn’t just a fleeting feeling of inadequacy—it’s a deep-rooted struggle that colors how someone sees themselves, others, and the world around them. For those who don’t experience it, it can be hard to understand the invisible challenges faced by people grappling with low self-esteem. These struggles go far beyond occasional self-doubt and affect every facet of life, from relationships to careers and personal well-being. 1. The Constant Inner Critic People with low self-esteem often live with a relentless inner critic. This voice magnifies every flaw, criticizes every decision, and makes even small mistakes feel monumental. To outsiders, this might look like perfectionism or overthinking, but it’s more than that. It’s a battle against self-doubt that can paralyze decision-making and sap joy from achievements. For example, a compliment might feel insincere or undeserved because their inner critic is quick to dismiss it. “They’re just being polite,” th...

Living with Low Self-Esteem: How It Affects Life Even at 42

  I am 42 this year, and I recently discovered something that my friend warned me about years ago. At the time, I didn’t think much of it, but now, I realize how right they were. They told me, “If you don’t work on your self-esteem while you’re young, it will affect your life later on.” Well, here I am, 42, living proof of how true that statement is. I’m someone who has struggled with low self-esteem for most of my life, and it still lingers, affecting me in ways that I never imagined when I was younger.
