Anger 101

Anger never shows itself in the right place. It always comes at the wrong time and place. It often makes us feel so hot to the point we want to snap at anyone at any given moment. We've become a ticking bomb before we knew it. 

Little by little, all of that anger builds up. It's only a matter of time until we explode but nobody wants that. No one wants to be friends with such an angry person but they always are the ones that make us angry. It's frustrating and annoying at the same time. But, again, we can't complain. Nobody likes complaints, a whiny person is a big no in society, isn't it?

We once again found ourselves keeping anger to ourselves, seeking ways to distribute this negative emotion so we won't be a walking bomb around people. 

Is it difficult? Yes, it is.


We've been told to keep our mouths shut and to not be a brat by being angry. But, darling, even though it is negative, anger is still a form of emotion that shouldn't be held back. One, it's not good for mental health. Two, it will affect our mood. Sure, we can't be angry 24/7 but at least we can control it. This is called anger management.

There are therapies out there to help us manage our anger. Talking to professional help is one of the ways to help us control our anger. I'm not saying it will be easy. There is no such thing as ease when it comes to mental health. We have to do it if we want to get better and not have angry outbursts every now and then.

Emotions are there for us to be felt, not to be ignored. Be it positive like happiness or negative like anger, we have to feel them in order to be human beings. Life is all about balance, and there is always a silver lining.
