Ever since I was a kid, I've never been able to hold a grudge. Or have the willpower to stay angry - even when I've really needed to and known it.
Though probably a virtue of sorts, this trait has rarely served me well. Makes me a bit of a pushover, I realize. But sustained tension and animosity make me uncomfortable. So I typically go to unnatural, unwarranted lengths to right the situation even when I'm not in necessarily in the wrong.
Making peace with my sister when she waged the war... Reconciling with exes when they caused the breach... Forgiving friends when they forgot to be one...
Though I don't have much disharmony in my life these days, I still have the same soft heart as always.
Damn it.
