I think it takes a certain level of maturity, self-awareness and never looking back

- some people just went on with their lives and left me to go on with mine
- some awkward conversations ended with me saying "I dont hate you" and shit was just cordial from there if we crossed paths
- in the last instance, a woman apologized if she hurt me (in actuality she didnt) and said her memories of our brief time are nothing but positive

I think in extreme cases, it helps to know a person is remorseful for any harm done. But by the same token you have to keep it moving if they dont have that in them
