A Case For Forgiving People, Even When They Don't Deserve It

I love a good grudge. Mess with me one time, and I will remember it forever. Is it my most redeeming quality? No. But is it a flex that I can recall the exact moment someone made me cry seven years ago? Yes. When it comes to the end of a relationship or a friend breakup, I've never been one to forgive. Once someone has treated me poorly, they're out of my life completely - no closure, no final conversation, no second chances. I'm just done. Sure, this may seem a little extreme, but it's my way of protecting my peace. Don't therapists and TikTok influencers preach boundaries and self-respect? . . .
