The forgiving type! Holding a grudge is like drinking a glass of water with poison: It kills.

@dudutsss right!?

@Luvbuttz Yeah, yeah. Forgiveness means setting yourself free: Free from the pain, the hurt, the lies, the grudge, and the wounds.

That depends, some things are grudge worthy.
@Luvbuttz Been there...

@Luvbuttz I stopped speaking to two of my siblings for years, not because it's grudge but because the wounds they left, took long time to heal.

One I helped elope from a very conservative context, away from my parents. I helped her escape with her bf, she then dumped him and went back to an arranged marriage and told the people involved I kidnapped her.

The other used to beat me up severely when asked to do so by my father.

So context is everything really. I became very violent person due to my upbringing, keeping distance was wise until I learnt to be in control of my anger.

We now do talk.

It all depends on circumstances. If you've hurt me or my family then its held forever. If it's just daft inconsequential things then move on who gives a fuck

It depends on what caused the grudge. If it happens once I'm always happy to give the benefit of the doubt, more than once is a problem.
I forgive people way too easily. 😑
