Grudges.

You know, it’s really sad to see someone carry on the grudges they held against others in high school to their adulthood. Or, maybe it’s just me who thinks this way. The moment I released my balloon into the air during senior checkout day, I forgave those who have hurt me throughout my four years of high school. I let go of all bad memories I had of these people who took advantage of me, who never gave me a chance to show them who I really was before judging me, and those who simply felt the desire to make the first move when all I really did was leave them alone. You know why? Because the moment we released those balloons into the air, we were now out of high school and on our way to becoming adults. Mature adults let go of these grudges and forgive before making their new start in a new world. So here’s to you and all these years you have hated me. From the day we met 5 years ago until now, you have made assumptions about my identity without even giving me the chance. You have talked behind my back for the past 5 years and you and I both know that I am aware of some of the things you have said about me. Go ahead and dislike me for who I am. Go ahead and talk about me. Go ahead and do whatever you’d like. Because honestly, the longer you carry this on, the more you make yourself look extremely shallow. Just remember, you’re an adult now.
