How do we forget!???!

wow, tough question! it is a matter of the heart....the hurt will always remain, it will just diminish as time goes by. remember the saying "time heals all wounds..."based on experiences, for me to get focused in my life goals and not be dragged deeper by the hurt, i actually was able to teach my brain to turn off certain parts so i won't remember the hurt much or even totally. i even surprise myself that sometimes, there is this feeling of de javu, then, i would remember that, it did actually happen. you can train your mind, there is the power of suggestion. and of course, for a start, busy yourself with other things, swing your attention somewhere else not necessarily towards another love object. avoid anything that would remind you of those persons, set a timeframe for this though, you will see, in time, you will be ready to face them again without you noticing that you already have gotten over the situation and the hurt. tell yourself you must love yourself even more now so you can give more still the next time around. there are so much more waiting for you out there....keep smiling now, Perry

i dont think we forget all the people who hurt us. especially those people who hurt us so bad. but time heals all the wounds. as time passes by, our wounded heart will be healed, and we learn to forget the heartaches, but not the people who hurt us.
