Say what you will, and you might even mean it. But people don't forget. We may even have it tucked away someplace nice and deep in the shadows of our minds, but it's still there.
Personally, I really do forget. For myself, there's just too much to think about, to know, and to remember for me to hold onto things people are passed with me, by way of apology. If they are sorry, I let it go, permanently, and I save room in my memory for better things with them. It's too much to be remembering pain someone did to me, while trying to get everything else done. lol
No, it isn't just a switch of "*click, the memory is gone", but once I forgive, details of what they did slip away every hour and day until it doesn't come to mind anymore. Sure, they might do it again, whatever it is, but they sure won't have me holding it against them from the first time if I told them I forgave them.
