"forget it"

famous last words. but it's never easy to just "forget it" is it?

after all that has been said and done, a simple "forget it" doesn't automatically clear the slate. every hurtful comment will still be etched in your mind, and the pain will still linger in your heart.

it is not about being petty. it is about how some words, said by some people, have the ability to wound deeper than any sword can.

at times of frustration and annoyance, perhaps it is better to exercise some self-control, to avoid saying some things that one will regret. when fury takes over, perhaps it is better to move aside, till clear thinking returns.

deliberately hurting someone in a moment of weakness just shows how you are desperately seeking to feel that little bit of power, to make yourself feel that little bit less lost, to make someone feel worse than you do.

but it's all at the expense of a loved one who is reaching out to go through it all with you.

is it worth it?
