You might even feel it’s better for you if you do not forgive them or hold onto the grudge. In reality, not forgiving a person, will only hurt you not the person.

You’re the one that will be left with the feeling of anger. Life is too short to hold on to feelings that do not serve us or nourish us.

How to forgive

Allow yourself be mad
