My Anger

[liveonearth]

Don't tell me not to be angry. I'm angry. I'm hurt. I have every right to express my feelings. They linger around when I don't get them out. So when they come up, I'm letting them out. It's not OK in our culture to be an angry woman. Too fucking bad. I'm pissed about that too. Pity me if you must, then look at yourself. I pity you your denial. You can pretend that you have your shit all together, but I have seen beneath the surface. The shell that covers a damaged human can be a lot stronger than the human.

Mind if I make this a Quote of the Week?

Not at all.

Wow, what has been going on? Haven't heard much from you on here recently, except for the dream and a couple of other short, angry posts (this one and the fuck you post). Did Dan start bugging you again?

What's with people who tell other people "don't be angry"? It's like telling somebody to not be sad or not grieve a loss or not to laugh. Pretty much impossible.

Anyway, your recent posts and lack thereof have me a bit concerned. Are you OK?

My inbox was full of Dan this morning and I read it and deleted it then posted this. I'm not really angry all the time, but my venting gets a lot of attention. I get no response to lots of other stuff, then I admit that I'm angry and hurt and suddenly the sky is falling. Don't worry! I'm FINE. Really.

I have just been really really BUSY, that's all. Moving, starting school, running around helping classmates, doing volunteer work....just busy. And talking on the phone more, which takes away from posting.

Ok. Just making sure. I know you're not angry all the time. :-)

I understand BUSY, too! For sure. Looking forward to the next time we talk so I can catch up on you. Take care.
