Water Under the Bridge: Past Issues or Problems That Are No Longer Relevant

When people say "water under the bridge," they mean that something that happened in the past, usually something negative or upsetting, is no longer important or worth worrying about. It's like saying that whatever happened is now behind us and doesn't affect us anymore. This phrase encourages moving forward and letting go of past grievances or troubles.

I hope the answer was understandable, please feel free to send more questions! :)
