Forgiveness… sucks… lol totally kidding, but it is really freaking hard. But science shows being hurt or disappointed puts a huge strain your health.⠀

Holding a grudge puts you in fight or flight mode which affects your heart rate, blood pressure and immune response. People who hold onto grudges are more likely to experience severe depression, PTSD, they’re more likely to die of heart disease. ⠀
