Forgetting isn't enough. You can paddle away from the memories and think they are gone. But they will keep floating back, again and again and agian. They circle you, like sharks. Until, unless, something, someone? Can do more than just cover the wound.

About This Quote

If you are looking to forget about something that happened in your life, don't try to do it by forgetting. Instead, you need to take the time to heal it. You can see that person or thing in your life, but by forgetting it, you are only making the wound worse. Ignoring the pain will only make it worse and will make you feel even more upset and stressed about it. It's best to take the time and use positive strategies like: writing it down and speaking about it, talking with a therapist or counselor, or even sharing it with a friend.
