the way every line is filled with suppressed rage, you can practically feel the presence of it, so sharp and yet so soft at places, your writing makes me feel things, so many emotions, I think I'll keep coming back to it when in need of reassurance, thank you for writing this<3
iโm so glad it had that effect! i didnโt think that anyone would resonate with my words enough to come back to it :โ) that truly makes me so happy
I feel like I traveled to the edges of my shadows and came back reluctantly as I read this piece. It really took my breath away, how deeply I felt I the rage.
this means more than i can say. iโm so glad it found you and that you let it sit with you in those shadows. weโre not alone in this ache <3 thank you for reading
Since I usually suppress my anger, Iโve realized that when Iโm deeply triggered, I canโt control my fight-or-flight response. The more you silence your screams, the less prepared you are for the rage that eventually erupts. Thatโs why I avoid people who provoke that in me and protect my boundaries. Thank you for pointing out something so true.๐ซก
This resonated in ways Iโm not even ready to write about yet. But I will. Suppressed anger is definitely on my to-do list. Thank you for putting words to something that usually only shows up in my nervous system ๐คโจ
reading this piece got me thinking that growing up, i was always an angry child. i can't help but got flashbacks every time i read your lines, which, for me, have truly resonated with me. i'm close to my twenties yet i still held the angry girl close to me.
my amygdala, the size of an almond nut, holds terrible temper but thankfully my prefrontal cortex is there just like you mentioned. i also learnt so many things to redirect my explosive temper into a calm and still sea. not in denial, only redirection. i don't want to waste my energy on something that is so ridiculous so i leave if the conversation clearly getting nowhere, if the person clearly not listening and if the relationship clearly sank before it even sailed.
thankyou for this thoughtful piece. as i too, "not a violent dog. i do not bite. i am not rabid. i am not irrational. but i am angry. and i am allowed to be. not because it is pleasant, not because it is easy. but because it is human. because it is honest. because some days, rage is the only evidence i have that i deserved better." we all desrve better. xx
thank you for reading! iโd love to know about your experience and what you learned to redirect your anger, if you ever decide to write about it ๐ซถ iโm happy you resonated with this
This was genuinely so good! I am an angry person and I'm working so hard on trying to be better, and you've just put every emotion, every rage and every thought I have ever had into this article ๐ญ๐ฉท
