when you say “forgetting them,” do you mean emotionally letting go, or cutting off the memories completely? i’m curious what that looks like for you right now.
i mean to detach yourself of every feeling tied to the memories you had together..... forget how happy you felt when they smiled, and how sad you were when they never met their promises. Deprive the memories from emotional meaning.
this line hit me in the chest. i had to forget someone i loved to survive, not because he didn’t matter, but because staying attached was slowly breaking me. forgetting felt cruel at first, but it was the only way i could breathe again

yes, not because it's the easiest and safest way to do. but rather it was what needs to be done.
