Laying there awake tangled in my cream-colored sheets, I could only remember one thing which my parents had always emphasized. I was so angry. Not only angry from the previous fight I just had with my boyfriend but angry I couldn’t get it out of my head. Angry that my parents and their annoying advice wouldn’t go away. Never go to sleep angry.

As easy as it sounds, I have never done something so difficult. You know what I mean, when you’re in that reaaally big fight and you know you’re right so you say your last words and drop the mic? Oh.. that’s just me? Anyway, the point is that even when you’re really on top and angry, you should never go to sleep angry.

No matter the fight and no matter the relationship, you should never carry the fight over into the night. Now if you’re willing to continue said disagreement the next morning, that would be okay with me. However, you should make your peace before bed. I’m all about clichés and I really do believe tomorrow is never promised.

We live in a world where chaos and life takes over and we forget to remember that it isn’t guaranteed. Every day we lose people we love and care about. Don’t take any chances and tell someone how you feel about them every chance you get. Even if they may not feel the same way, it’s important that you live with no regrets.

I can personally say that being the bigger person can be tough sometimes, yet I have never once regretted it. I would feel awful if something happened to someone I loved and I didn’t make peace with them because I was being stubborn.

The next time you make someone really angry with you (because if you’re anything like me, you will) tell them how you care and be the bigger person. Don’t walk away from the situation angry. Honestly, it might surprise the other person and end the disagreement altogether. Whatever you do though, never go to sleep angry.
