A big part of growing up is learning how to swallow your pride and forgive others.

As hard as it is to let something slide between you and a friend, a family member or even someone you just straight up don’t like. You have to do it, it takes a lot to forgive and forget. Grudges and silent treatments do nothing but make put a dent on friendship and create an even farther distance between you and another individual whoever they may be. So the next time someone makes you mad let me ask you this

is all of that negativity necessary? Or is it all just a defense mechanism, a wall you put up to keep yourself from being hurt any further?

People shouldn’t live their lives in hatred of others. Once you learn how to forgive others. Your life will be so much more calm and care-free.
