I struggle a lot with being the bigger person. I often let things get to me and then I leave them to dwell and fester until I'm overwhelmed by anger. It's a really awful thing. However, there are some cases where you cannot confront someone. My mother, actually, often tells me not to confront people. Usually, people will let things go -- unless they hold grudges well. I happen to hold grudges well.

I am sad to say that I inherited my grandmother's cold shoulder and not my mother's forgiving heart.

I'm working on it, though. I'm working on forgiving people and letting things go. Sometimes you have to let people be how they wish to be, whether it be good or bad. Usually if someone wants to be mad, they are going to be mad. Forgiveness is not a part of human nature. You have to actively try to forgive someone in order to find peace with them. Maybe it's not just me that needs to learn that. Maybe the person that is at the root of my anger should learn that too. 

catch you later,
