It's just like Cady Harron realises in Mean Girls.
Miss Caroline Krafft seriously
needed to pluck her eyebrows.
Her outfit looked like it was picked out
by a blind Sunday school teacher.
And she had some -cent
lip gloss on her snaggletooth.
And that's when I realized,
making fun of Caroline Krafft
wouldn't stop her
from beating me in this contest.
...
Calling somebody else fat
won't make you any skinnier.
Calling someone stupid
doesn't make you any smarter.
And ruining Regina George's life
definitely didn't make me any happier.
All you can do in life is try to solve
the problem in front of you.
So really... wouldn't it be better to forgive...
I don't really think the forget thing works though. Even if you could - and the majority of the time you can't - your really wouldn't be learning anything. And I like to think that all the pain is just something we can use to stop us making the same mistakes again.
Even if someone hurts you; and you find yourself wishing that they knew what it felt like, you feel guilty - right?
Trust me. When it happens to them; you feel about a billion times worse.

Case 1
ModelBoy (an ex, of sorts) slept with someone else because I wasn't willing to declare my love within 2 weeks of knowing him.
A month later the girl he chose over me broke his heart.
It didn't make me feel better about myself. I just felt sorry for him.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Case 2
I was super jealous of one of my friends seemingly perfect relationships.
It was a low point for me, I'll admit it. But I did kind of wish they weren't as happy as they seemed; even though I knew they'd been through their ups and downs.
I only felt like that for a couple of minutes, once.
Next thing I know, I know a lot more than I'd like to about the guy.
I wish I could take back what I know now. It's making it really hard to be happy for her when I'm fairly sure the foundations their relationship was fixed on; are fake.
Karma bit me in the ass (concience-wise). It's even harder when the party (parties, whatever) are fairly innocent.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
So I think we need a little more love in the world...
If you get hurt, realise it's just a part of the human condition. Unfortunately the only way to fix it is to die. Which really sounds like a buzzkill.
Just learn from it instead. Be stronger; be better.
And in time let yourself love again.

p.s
Caroline Krafft... more of a babe than a lot of us will ever be.
