Holding Grudges

-
Hey Guys x

First of all, this post is 3 days late and I'm really sorry about that. I had half of it written on Wednesday evening when everything went wrong and my laptop stopped working. Thankfully, the first half of this post saved so I can just continue now!

Second of all, thanks for the nice comments on my 'Sefie-shy' post, you all really helped and I enjoyed seeing what you had to say. If you haven't seen it, click here!

But right now, I want to talk about grudges.

Some of us don't hold grudges. Sure you get into arguments or someone insults you, but when everything is done and the apologies have been dealt, you can easily forget everything that happened and move on, still with this person by your side.

I can't do this.

If someone insults me or I get into an argument with someone, I can't just let it go. And I don't go as far as plotting their death, but to be honest, I'm not far off!

And not only do I mean those huge arguments where everyone says things that they don't really mean, because those are horrible, but even the little things. Just like when someone makes a passing comment.

For example, when I was in like year 8, someone made a passing comment, something like 'She's really quiet. I wouldn't notice if she left the school' or along those lines.

Not only did that comment really piss me off (and I could rant on the topic of 'quietness' for pages and pages) but it upset me. Not only for reasons that I won't rant about now, but because it was just a bit unnecessary. And to this day, I remember that situation because I can't let it go.

And I still don't talk to/trust that person, and because we're all leaving school and going to university/into jobs this year, I honestly don't think I ever will. And that's not really a problem for either of us (I doubt she cares how I feel about her) but I just wish I didn't hold grudges.

Thank you for reading!

Do you hold grudges, or can you easily let things go? Let me know in the comments!

Keep Smiling - Lou xx

    I definitely hold grudges, there are people that I've had in my life who have done thoughtless things and have called me the C word which I will never say or write. Even if they apologise I find it hard to let go, once you've said something you cant take it back like it never happened xx

      I know exactly what you mean. And to be honest, if people treat you like that, you don't need them in your life xx

    I hold grudges all the time. I never talk to people about it though. It's only recently I've gotten over things that have happened years ago with my friend x

    I'm really similar. Even if I can't remember what was said or done, I don't forget how someone made me feel and pretty much hate them forever. I wish I didn't, but to quote Mr Darcy ' my good opinion once lost is lost forever' :)

    I hold grudges for the longest time periods and I hate it. I don't know why i do but I suspect it comes from the fact that I don't trust easy. I don't know. I'm a mess ;)

Road House (2024) | Film Review

-

When ex-UFC fighter Dalton (Jake Gyllenhaal) takes a job as a bouncer at a roadhouse, he soon finds that his past is quickly catching up to him. I've never seen the original Road House, and when I put this one on I wasn't really planning to review it, but I found myself really getting into it. I liked this a lot more than I thought I would. Both the characters and the story were a lot more engaging and compelling than I thought they would be. The story sucked me in right from the beginning and I was interested the whole way through. The cast is great, but Jake Gyllenhaal completely carries the film and plays the character of Dalton really well. Again, I can't compare his performance to the original, but I really like the character. The fight scenes, which are pretty much what the film is about, are done really well. They're entertaining, but they also do a good job of moving the story forward. I think the reason I liked the film so much was because I didn't take it

Wonka | Film Review

Young Willy Wonka (Timothée Chalamet) tries to follow his dreams to become a respected chocolatier, despite opposition at every turn . This film was never particularly high on my 'to-watch' list, but it was always on my radar, so I'm glad I've finally seen it. I liked this movie a lot more than I thought I would, but I still definitely had problems with it! For a start, while I love the fact that it was a musical, I didn't actually like any of the actual songs. None of them really stood out (except the one that's already known) and having only seen the film yesterday, I can't remember any of them. In fact, while the songs didn't hurt the film, I also don't feel like they were completely necessary. I would have liked the film the same amount if it hadn't been a musical. Wonka is a really charming character, and Chalamet plays him really well. In fact, the entire cast is great - definitely the best thing about the film by a mile. The relationship b

Scarface (1983) | 100 Movies Bucket List

Next up for the Bucket List was another first-time watch! I'd seen the original 1932 film years ago and really liked it, but I never got around to watching this (undoubtedly more popular) version, so I'm glad it was on the list. I really really liked this movie. I'm not sure if I like it more than, or the same as the original, but I definitely had a great time with it. One thing about finally seeing all these classic movies is seeing how much impact they've had on pop culture, and this film is definitely no exception. It's so quotable, there are so many iconic images, and it's one that everyone should watch if they haven't seen it before. The most talked-about aspect of this film is probably the violence, and that's so interesting to see. Not only the way it's spoken about, but also the difference between violence in older films like this and newer releases. I personally thought the violence was done well, and while probably not all of it was strictl

My Problem With '8 Simple Rules'

-

Hey Guys x Today's post might come out as more of a rant, which I'm OK with because I haven't ranted about something in a while! Last year, I started watching the show '8 Simple Rules' when it started playing on Comedy Central. It originally came on between 2002 and 2005 but I didn't watch it when it was first on. Anyway, I really got into it. There were only three seasons, so it was over before I wanted it to be. And I loved this show, and I still love it. Comedy Central doesn't play it anymore but if it did I would dive right back into it because I love a good sitcom. However, I have a major gripe with a plotline of the show, that got more prominent in season 2/3. Let me just explain the characters a bit, so you know who I'm taking about in case you never watched it. The show revolves around a family, Paul and Cate Hennessy, and their children Bridget, Kerry and Rory. In the second season, the father in the show died (due

American Psycho | 100 Movies Bucket List

This one was a re-watch. I'd seen this film once before watching it for the Bucket List. My memories of it weren't wholly positive - I didn't love the first watch, and while I didn't hate it, it wasn't a film that I was itching to watch again. Though saying that, I knew that I probably would watch it again eventually, because I knew how much of a classic it was. Like a lot of films I've watched for the Bucket List, I liked it more this time around than I did the first time, though I still didn't love it as much as I wanted to. But that being said, I did really enjoy it. The writing was great and Christian Bale was amazing in the role, as were the supporting actors. For me, though, the most iconic thing about this movie is its soundtrack. The songs used are amazing and fit the movie so well. They're used in such a unique, original way, that it feels like this alone makes the movie a classic. The film is really well made, and even though I don't love i
