Walking Away Is Not Holding a Grudge

Are you holding a grudge? About?

People often think I hold grudges because once I walk away, I don’t look back. I don’t acknowledge. I don’t engage. To them, that silence feels like punishment. To me, it’s peace.

A grudge takes energy. It requires me to rehearse pain, plot discomfort, and keep someone alive in my mind. That’s counterproductive. I don’t work overtime on negativity. I don’t owe anyone space in my head.

So no, I don’t hold grudges. I simply move on. When I stop acknowledging someone, it’s not revenge, it’s self-preservation. It’s me choosing my mental capacity over their drama. And honestly? That’s what pisses people off the most: not my anger, but my absence.
