The Aftertaste of Resentment
As someone who has had a pretty good amount of privilege whether I admit it or not, I harbored quite a lot of resentment towards everyone and everything that didn’t go my way. When things didn’t turn out the way I wanted them, unbeknownst to me I would unleash hell on those around me. Or […]
