Today I felt rage. Real rage.
I’m sort of sad that I actually allow things make my blood pressure rise as much as it did today.
I decided, after thinking about the situation, that a lot of my anger stems from lack of communication. Today, I was not understood and was definitely not understanding what the other person wanted either. I then thought that my feelings are more prevalent than I originally thought. How much anger do we feel because we think other people are refusing to listen and refusing to acknowledge our feeling or ideas? It seems so simple…and so easy to fix. As I’ve considered this, however, I realized that it isn’t easy to fix at all…and that’s because I don’t control other people. I can’t make them truly hear me and understand my feelings behind things at the same time.
At the end of the day, I’ve come to the conclusion that I should just GET PISSED…or not.
I don’t want to get that angry that easily. maybe pray for me…that my rage would be righteous in nature rather than just ridiculous.

All that I want in life is to be understood. Yet, I don’t know if I really even understand myself.
Oh, and I’ll pray for your anger, if and when you stop hitting me about the head and neck.

can we just clarify that this “rage” is about the stupid people who ask stupid questions at work and cause you extra time, energy, etc. and NOT caused by your roomate, dear sweet amy? thank you. that is all.

no, you’re not a bad person. I recommend getting off-pissed, throwing some soft things, chatting it out with your peeps, and smoking if you have to. definitely not holding it in, though, because eventually you’ll dehisce.
