How would you go about forgetting someone completely? Or at least enough so the memory no longer hurts? How do you make yourself not care of their existence? How do you stop missing them when you know they are no good for you or anyone you care about? It seems the more I want to forget, the easier it is to remember...

Any help would be appreciated.

It means that memories that significant aren't going anywhere, so naught's left but submission.

That's description. Prescription says that memories are bound up, and thus a formative part, of the soul. To dispense with those merely because they hurt is to, as said, flout eternity, or at least one's participation therein.

Sacrifice your memory to open an archway to your world.

No. But you can enter a duplicate if you need to ease your homesickness.

It's wisdom, which is only useless if it's unemployed. I tell you that way is folly. It's spiritual lobotomy.

Don't complain about the bonus benefits if you still achieve your primary objective.

I haven't tested it personally. But it should suffice.

[Odd thing to say about text messages...]

I like when others cease scorning memory much more.

[She's laughing out loud. Good cheek at least.]

My ex and I were fighting a lot when we first came, he didn't know the reason why or how he'd hurt me, or why I was hurting now. Now it's a year later, and he still doesn't know, so even though he wants to rebuild a relationship with me, it's all on shaky ground, yeah?

Don't do anything you'll regret.

You shouldn't do that.

I'd give up memories of my ex-wife, if it wasn't for our daughter. But even though times were really bad, if I just forgot her, then I wouldn't remember how or why to protect myself better.

Bad things we go through are still useful in the long run. They teach us how to do better.

I wasn't interested in making amends either, but our friends needed us to.

You're in a different world, it already is different.

Forgetting something completely isn't right. You need to remember the painful stuff, or else you're ignoring the ways you can make yourself stronger.

Only cowards run from pain. And they usually hurt people to make those memories go away.
