Yes! There's enough trouble in the world and enough things that will come against you. It's important not to be holding loved ones at bay because of an offense they've caused.

It’s simply more productive time
To yield to love’s affection

That's so true. It's a joy to be reconciled to someone you love. It can be hard to let go of pride and allows them back in, but it's so much better to do so!

Sounds like you're doing better. I'm glad! :)
