Wow. I used to be afraid, and I often expressed my fear with anger. I was very controlled. I worked hard to not show my emotions because I didn't get a lot of positive reinforcement for them

I'm going to use that technique of yours when my brain gets in those ruts, and thank you!
And yeah, I'm generally a pretty happy person, but I do it the same way you do, J. I focus on small things and enjoy them while they're there, whether that's sunrise or a hawk going by overhead or a particularly silly idea Dragon and I are trading back and forth.
Hmm... I don't remember you from that time as angry. Snarky, maybe - and it's not necessarily a bad way of handling and making sense of the world, as long it can be turned off at will (and I always remember you as polite and diplomatic when called for). Our recent conversations don't really change my mind on all that, except that I might add a bit of the wisdom that comes from experience. If you're angry, perhaps it's at the right things? Injustice, bullying and abuse, pettiness and small people?
