These 16 bitterness quotes will help you to overcome hate and resentment. Soon you will feel lighter and brighter.
Why I created these bitterness quotes
If you’re new to my site, hi there! I’m both a bestselling author and award winning designer.
I personally created these bitterness quote image posters. Why? Because I’ve had my share of struggles with narcissists, liars, and challenging toxic people of all kinds.
I was even involved with a Prince Harming.
Thankfully I did the inner work needed to let go of my pain, shame and anger. I’m now on the other side – happily partnered and free from resentment.
My mission: I want to help as many people as I can to let go of the pain from their past – and enjoy life more.
If you feel bitter and resentful due to toxic people…
