Speaker 1: five minutes this week on the Dopamine d Docs, we're
Speaker 1: tackling the elephant in the room, or maybe the dragon
Speaker 1: hoarding all your happy vibes resentment. Listen, I get it.
Speaker 1: Holding onto grudges can feel like a superpower. Sometimes you

Speaker 1: drinking poison and expecting the other person to die. Nope, fam,
Speaker 1: it's you who gets messed up. Two it's not about
Speaker 1: condoning their actions. It's about releasing your grip on the
Speaker 1: Paan Picture this. You're trying to climb a mountain with
Speaker 1: a giant anchor strapped to your back. That's what resentment
Speaker 1: feels like, constantly dragging you down. Forgiveness, that's unstrapping that
Speaker 1: anchor and letting yourself fly. Three. Letting go doesn't mean forgetting.
Speaker 1: It's okay to acknowledge the hurt and still choose to
Speaker 1: move on. Think of it like deleting a toxic Instagram post.

Speaker 1: friend who borrowed your hoodie and never returned it. Seriously,

Speaker 1: let's take it up a notch with a story that'll
Speaker 1: make your jaw drop harder than a Beyonce concert. Emma Watson,
Speaker 1: Hermione Granger, herself, has been open about her struggles with forgiveness.
Speaker 1: You know, the girl who was practically a superhero in
Speaker 1: our childhood. She had to learn to let go of
Speaker 1: past hurts and embrace the power of moving forward. Picture this,
Speaker 1: Emma's on set for Harry Potter, surrounded by thousands of
Speaker 1: fans screaming their hearts out. But behind that magical smile,
Speaker 1: she's battling inner demons, insecurities, pressures, and maybe even a
Speaker 1: few bruised egos from past experiences. Talk about adulting at
Speaker 1: its finest. She eventually realized that holding onto resentment was
Speaker 1: like wearing invisible chains, weighing her down and preventing her
Speaker 1: from reaching her full potential. So she took a deep breath,
Speaker 1: did some soul searching, probably with a cup of herbal tea,
Speaker 1: and started practicing forgiveness. It wasn't easy, but she learned
Speaker 1: to let go of the past, embrace self love, and
Speaker 1: continue slaying the game both on and off screen. Talk
Speaker 1: about an inspirational queen. So, my fellow gen Z warriors,
