解脱

That day I was going back to Marsiling, my previous home, to collect my letters from the various universities.
Then i realised I had left this place for more than 2 years already.
Unhappy memories start to flood my mind and I felt so tired and disgusted.
Then I dig out the key for the letterbox, and then I paused.
I had forgotten the unit number and could only recall which unit I had lived in after 1 minute.

Then I realised actually, without my knowledge, part of me had already forgotten my previous woes which I keep reminding myself not to forget.
I thought by not forgetting, I could maintain the hatred within me and make me a stronger person, leaving me with no choice but to continue hating.
But as all humans do, I forget too easily.
I used to say I forgive but don't forget, now I realise most of the time I forget before I forgive.

I smiled at myself that day.

Ignorance is bliss.
