it's also possible to let go without the forgiveness step.

Letting go is literally the act of forgiveness. This is like saying it's possible to inhale without breathing.

Looks like we have a semantic disagreement.

letting go is the act of not caring, the act of me moving on.
forgiveness implies I don't hold the person accountable anymore for whatever they did. In my mind, the first does not require the second.
