People hurt other people - intentionally or not, it's a fact of life. Holding on to that hurt forces you to carry a load that your body, particularly your heart, was not designed to handle.
Forgiveness is a gift - no strings attached. Forgiving others, regardless of whether or not they're repentant or have any remorse, isn't something to be taken lightly. It doesn't mean validaing the action or excusing the offender. It means fully understanding how much you were hurt and choosing to release the offending person in spite of it. It's something you can only do fully through God, becoz He has done it so freely for you.
Forgiving others is a gift to yourself
Be gentle and ready to forgive
never hold grudges
Remember, God forgave you
so you must forgive others
