Chrissy Metz Quotes

“As an adult, that just doesn’t happen. You move on with your feelings or you harbor resentment. We rarely really deal with issues in a rational way on the spot: “Hey, what you just did hurt my feelings. I want you to know.” It feels awkward. It is too hard. But when you do, the person apologizes. Or maybe he doesn’t, but at least it doesn’t fester in your head.”

Because carrying hate is a heavy load, but offering forgiveness is freeing.”
