Anger
Today, I faltered.
I was angry.
I am still angry.
It's going to take me a bit to get over being angry.
I should be angry at myself, but I'm not mature in my thinking at this precise moment. Right now, I am verbally sharing my anger with my family. I blamed them for certain behaviors towards me.
I am not sorry.
Is walking around angry going to fix anything? Nope. Not even a little. But you know what? I don't care. My anger is justified. It needs to be let out in the open air, if only for my sanity, and while it is not doing any harm except to a few eardrums. I can live with that.
Soon enough, the anger will only get in the way and must stop. Until then, while thoughts are processing and thinkers are thinking about the larger goal, I will permit myself to be angry.
That is all.
Love,
Snook

If memory serves, Steve Levine suggested that thoughts are just clouds floating through the sky of mind. Hope your dark cloud passes soon. ✌️& 💛
Hey Snook hope all is well.. Sending you strength as seeing the DNR/DNI bracelet in combination with the texts. In a previous post of yours you wrote something about Hive being your backbone in 2024, so sending a bit of backbone as well ;)
It is passing now that I have given it light.
All will be fine in the end.
HUGE HUGS!
Thank you!!! That means so very much!!!
and yes, HIve is wonderful in so many ways. It gave me a place to express how I was really feeling, so the negative thoughts had their moment, and now.......... while I am sure they will show up from time to time, they will never be as strong as they were getting.
HUGS!
The power of the abilitity to leave the words somewhere..it helps!
It REALLY does.
You just have to be brave enough to write them.
Sending hugs. Given what I know, I suspect your anger is very justified. But even if it wasn't? We all need to vent sometimes.
I hope you feel better soon!

I hope everything will get better for you Snook. Anger is really destructive and afterwards you might not find something to live with. I hope you'll find some inner peace soon.
You DO know LOLL
and thanks!! getting there
It is, but holding anger in is also just as destructive. Life has a flow, and all emotions have value. Shoving down "bad" emotions is just as harmful to your mind and body as making you believe everything is "just fine."
Now, if I carried this anger for days/weeks/years on end, it would be very bad and destructive, but nowhere did I say that. In my other comments, I noted the anger needed to see the light of day so it would dissipate.
And it has......
Just writing about how angry I was helped me eliminate the anger. Or at least lessen it :D
And that was why I ended up writing and posting this post ........
Thanks for caring!!
