I've noticed that society has a very hard time moving on from things and they tend to hold on to grudges. Personally, I believe that holding on to grudges is one of the saddest things on earth. You literally make yourself so miserable that you hold a grudge against a person you don't like. You put more energy into hating that one person, then you do moving on. I have sympathy for the people who just can't move on from things. If you are willing to drag yourself through the mud, just to prove to yourself that you hate someone, you need to check yourself. I've even seen cases where prior friends have dropped me because of a grudge they had against someone else. If that isn't the most pathetic thing you've heard, I don't know what is.

I believe in letting your anger out and expressing how you feel. If you can't live in a world where you can express yourself, you need to question why you're in it. The world is supposed to be at your hands. But holding onto that anger for years is exhausting. It doesn't make much sense to torture yourself because of a fallout you had a couple of years ago. Am I writing about one particular case that involves me? Yes and no. I lost a friend because he was holding a grudge against someone else I was talking too. We were friends for over ten years and it was all thrown away because of a grudge. Personally, at this point I just feel bad for him and I'm sympathetic. I have moved on, and he hasn't. I even heard that he was happier now. I doubt that's true, but if he is, good for him! I truly am no longer angry. It's pointless to be mad at dumb shit like that for that long. Grudges literally ruin people and friendships.

I have a remedy for the people who can't let go of grudges. Take a deep breathe and relax. Take a look back, and truly try and find the reason why you're still mad. If you struggle to remember why you're mad, and you're just angry because you remember that you should be mad, you need to move on. Sometimes people need to take a step back from a situation to truly understand it. Analyzing everything is always good, and analyzing grudges is perfect. I have a twin brother. I have fought both physically and mentally with him so many times, I wouldn't be able to count that high. Imagine if I held a grudge against him for tripping me when we were five. I would be a miserable sack of shit who would never find happiness.

Overall, if you are the type to hold grudges, you need to check yourself. Trust me, you will be happier if you try and move on from them. Anger can be great to let out, but keeping it in for a long time is crazy. I'll always be here trying to live a better life every day. I always want to improve, and so should everyone else.
