"its easy to hate"

"It is easy to hate, but much harder to forgive" -annonymous
I read this quote somewhere along time ago. For some reason, It can relate to almost any issue that comes along. To me, it means forgive and forget. I mean not necessarily foget, but do forgive. I think the older I get the more I realize, you can not be happy if you hold grudges. I try to not be angry with people, because it will affect me more than it affects them. Everyone knows it is so easy to get pissed off and talk shit about someone. Really though, how hard is it to bite your tongue and try to look past what just happened? Dont get me wrong, I am definitely not always the girl to do this. I am loud, bossy, opinionated and stubborn, but I try to forget about things that hurt me or make me angry. I find myself really annoyed with people, when they cant let stuff go. Life is meant to be enjoyable, but only if you make it that way. Another thing that I suppose kinda goes along with this quote is taking responsibilty for your own actions. The hardest thing i can say I have done in the last year is having to look into someones eyes that I care about and tell them the complete and honest truth. Not making excuses for what I had done, even when I knew that person was hoping there was one. Sometimes life can get dificult and seem totally unfair. I tell myself number one, "You cannot appreciate anything good, without having to experience pain" and secondly, "Never take life too seriously, no one gets out alive anyways." This blog may seem a little bit silly, but it is the kind of person I am. I am an emotional, hopeless romantic, look for the best in all things kinda girl. Not to say I am always optimistic, but I like it when people surprise me for the better. Little things like that can make a girls day!
