Sarah’s 'grudge garden' is the creepiest shit I’ve heard. Bet she waters those plants with cheap wine and tears. She sounds unhinged as fuck.

I'll take a useful grudge over fake forgiveness any day! :) It's not being petty... it's just a security system to make sure I don't get played again. Keeping those mental receipts right where they are.
