August 13th Journal Prompt: Anger.

 The journal prompt of the day is:

How do you deal with your anger?

I bottle a lot of my emotions up inside.

If I feel anger- it may show on my face, but you won't see or hear about it unless it is absolutely necessary.

I've watched anger destroy people. Turn them into someone they cannot even recognize. I've watched anger bring shame. Regret.

And I refuse to be that person.

You can cross me-

You can hurt me-

And 9 times out of 10, 

I won't say a word. I won't speak on it.

BUT.

I'll sit with that anger.

I'll stew in that anger.

And that anger will force me to learn what I DESERVE.

So, no-

I won't fight with you.

I won't argue with you.

It is what it is.

BUT.

I will say-

"Alyssa, you deserve better."

And that anger within me will remind me of that. 

I'm the quiet angry person. Every bit of it churns inside of me and let's me process all angles of the situation. Very rarely do I speak when I'm angry because I know the tongue is a fickle thing. 

It will speak horrible things if you allow it. 

So-

get angry.

But let that anger make a situation GREAT for you, not regrettable.

Let that anger remind you:

I don't deserve this. 

And chase the heck out of something better!!

Process the anger.

Breathe.

And make a change.
