(no subject)
i am proud of myself today.
i encountered a situation that made me angry.
i went to a nice, cool spot and sat. i wrote some thought and feelings in a notebook. i counted to 100 and took deep breaths. i thought about the situation, what i could do, what i wanted to do, and what would be the best thing to do. i realized that being angry would not get me anywhere. i realized that it's ok to be upset about something but yelling is not a good way to handle things. i decided to be an adult.
and i calmed down, put my head together, and let it go.
some battles are worth fighting, right? but doesn't growing up mean learning to know when you have no control over the situation? i come from a place where the only way to be heard is to yell. literally. but just because i was taught the wrong way does not mean i have to go on to live that way. i can be better.
