I’ve been angry for 30+ years.
When I woke up from by bubble of coming from school to the “real world” and realized what it was…boy was I pi**ed.
I reacted by shaving all my hair off.
I just wanted to reflect my rage.
Then I learned that anger is ancestral for me. I have very early, vivid memories of my father yelling and his mother yelling. It was the family’s way.
As a young adult, I learned that expressing my anger towards my partner in a relationship was detrimental (by yelling).
So I began the process of looking at that.
It’s only 30 years later when I feel like I can choose it rather than succumb to it.
But I’ll take that win.
How far have you come in your relationship with anger?
