Family is family

Its times like this that make me see just how worthless it is to have hatred in your heart. What is the point of hating someone so much? What do you gain from holding a grudge? Think of all the space you could have in your heart to love and be happy if you would just let it go.
I wish I could make everyone see things my way, sadly, I know I cannot.
I'm guilty of not liking people. I'm guilty of not being the nicest person on the planet. I have an opinion and will let everyone know it before I think of how it might affect others.
I've learned to let go of things that I can't change. I've learned that just because someone has hurt me doesn't mean that I need to do the same to them. I don't need to hate, I don't need to hold on to that anger. I'm trying to be better and its taken a lot for me to get here. And I know I still have a ways to go. But I am trying.
I just wish others could see what a waste it is to hold onto anger. How it eats away at you and you don't even realize it
