Forgive & Forget

Life is too short to hold grudges. I guess some people deserve to get them held against them. Like the people who don’t learn from their mistakes. That’s their fault though. But we have all seen the two best friends that don’t talk to each other over a fight. Then they hold a grudge with that person forever. Imagine if the two friends would have talked it out and gotten over it. How much different their life’s would have been if they would have done that.
      I’ve learned to control myself and forgive people more easily because of my sister. She is basically like a time-bomb waiting to explode. She has the shortest temper. If you came at her the wrong way or say something that doesn’t sound right to her. She will go off on you. No matter how big or how little the situation is she will still make a huge deal about it. Its sopmetimes even over the little dumb things too "Tanner why did you get water on the mirror in the bathroom?" "Tanner why didnt you open the blinds in the kitchen this mournin?" "Tanner why dont you put your shoes away?" most of the time i have a legit answer for all the question she just doesnt want to hear them. but she will make sure you know how she feels about the situation. I think this also has made me a more calm person. If I were to go back at my sister whenever she blew up, we would be having some big arguments almost daily. I’ve learned it’s a lot easier to just bite my tongue and walk away for a little while and then comeback later. My sister will basically just forget what happened earlier and be fine with you when you comeback that’s just the way she is. So I do the same thing. I don’t think she knows how intense or how loud she really gets. So I just forgive her every time she does have one of those arguments. Because if I were to hold a grudge against her every time she did blow up we would never talk. And that’s not how a family is suppose to be. Every family does have their own little arguments, but your not suppose to hold that against them. Just forgive and forget and go on with your life. What’s the point in holding a grudge? Nothing good ever comes out of it. You just loose that person until you finely forgive them. So why not just forgive them sooner than later and you never know what could happen.
       Im almost kind of glad my sister has a short temper because I’ve learned to deal with it a lot better than someone who doesn’t have a sister like mine. It helps me for the future in case I meet someone else like her. Also I learned to be more of a calm person. And in pressure situations I can usually stay pretty calm and not loose my temper and say the wrong thing. So in a lot of ways my sister has made me who I am today. And most importantly she has taught me to forgive and forget.
