Okay, Dashboard Confessional fucking rocks. I don't care what anyone says, but they just manage to say the right things, combine them with easygoing instrumental performance and create these insanely cathartic songs. I feel like the media attacks so many artists and genres, and usually I don't see a point to what they say. What is so wrong about emo or punk or pop punk songs that are about girls...? I don't see why that would make the band immature. So many people spend their entire lives looking for love, holding on to love or grieving over lost love. Given that, aren't these artists just feeding off of an ongoing theme...

That's that though.

There are alot of people who can make me angry. In using the word 'angry,' I am actually describing a continuum of emotions. On the extreme end, there is hate, which I truly feel for few people, if any. On the opposite of hate is frustration, a much milder state, and typically short lived but possibly recurring. Within the opposite ends of the continuum and throughout it, there exist different degrees of each emotion. Between the extremes are: annoyed, mad, pissed, aggravated, angry, offended; but not in that order. Although these all may sound so similar that they can hardly describe a whole nother emotion, but I can see and have experienced the differences between all of them.

I've discovered that being mad, and staying mad, eats up so much energy - so much that sometimes its hardly worth becoming angry in the first place. Holding grudges or remaining mad takes away so much energy and impacts you physically, mentally and emotionally. It is stressful to be in conflict with someone. However, its also stressful to be torn between working through the conflict or leaving the relationship to disppear into nothingness.
