Dear Diary VI

FACEBOOK POST

I’ll never forget when someone hurt me. I might laugh with you, be polite, even check in on you — but don’t ever think for a second that I’ve forgotten what you did. The truth is, I don’t hold grudges… I hold memories. And when someone I cared about made the choice to hurt me — yeah, it stuck with me.
Because let’s be real — I loved with a big heart. I would’ve done anything for you. And instead of protecting that, you played with it. You chose to be careless. You chose to be cold. And you didn’t even realize the kind of damage you caused because it didn’t happen loud. It happened silently — in the way I started guarding my heart, questioning people’s intentions, pulling back when all I wanted was to give.
Forgiveness? That’s easy. I forgive because I don’t want to carry that weight forever. But forgetting? Nah. That’s the part that lingers. Because once I see you’re capable of hurting me when I would’ve protected you at all costs, something inside me shifts.
So yeah, I might smile. I might be cool. But best believe, I remember. And I love from a safer distance now — not because I’m bitter, but because I learned.
