Forgiving and forgetting doesn't always happen.

When I think back to situations, whether having to have happened to me or from movies that I've seen, to forgive and forget seems normal and always a possibility. Forgiving seems easy and managable, but forgetting is the problem. It is almost always impossible for someone to forget something that has happened. Whether this situation is something that they want to remember or not, no one has the choice. This event will forever be a part of this persons memory. If only we could choose to remember only the things that were pleasant in our lives and to be able to forget all the bad. If only bad memories could be thrown away like a used tissue in a garbage can, life would be so much more simple and happy.

If I were given the chance to choose any super power I wanted, it would probably be the ability to make people happy. A lot of people are miserable because tof certain past events that they cant seem to forget. No one in this world can say that the have been happy their entire lives. No one in this world can say that they have never cried once in their lives. We've all had something bad happen to us at least once in our lifetime. Some, if not all, of us have thought to ourselves at least once that life is unfair. "Why is this happening to me? Why me?"  For those who are even more extreme about their unhappiness, there may have even been thoughts of suicide. What ever the problem may be, I don'nt think that any problem permits suicide. You may try to fix a problem but fail to do so, but at least you know you've tried. Now move on with your life without any regrets.

Today is one of those days for me where I will never be able to forget what happened. I haven't cried like I did today for a very long time. Though crying seems like a sad gesture, it is undeniable that it is the best reliever for stress. After crying for an hour and a half before falling asleep, I woke up feeling a lot better. Though my problem is yet to be solved, I feel a lot more calmer now to talk about it and attempt to solve it. I wish I could forget everything that has happened today, at least the unpleasant parts anyway, but we all know that forgetting is impossible. But forgiving is an option.
