Throughout my life, I have experienced anger. It was for various reasons. Some of it was because I was not understood. Some of it was because I did not understand the world around me. And some of it was because I was not taking care of myself. Whatever it was, I have started to realize the need to let go of some things. I can’t control these things, and they cause my anger.

It is moving past what I believe was holding me back from doing what I wanted to do in life. I believe the changes happened because some people did not care about how I would feel. I am giving things a chance to see how they work. In turn some of the changes that have happened over the past few years were better. I didn’t see it initially. Eventually, some of the changes helped me develop better relationships with those who affected me all those years. I was misled to believe things that weren’t true. That is what had my anger in me for so long.

Moving ahead, it was knowing that I had to start to let go of the feelings I was exposed to. They were hurting me slowly and were no longer valid. They just kept boiling when there was no reason to. I was safe and being cared for. I had to see that. I also realized that there was no more constant drama or anger. These emotions were not being controlled by others, and this made things difficult for me.

It was moving on and letting go of all that hurt. I didn’t realize it was holding me back from the person I can be. I finally saw that the people who were there to help me were there all along. It was also realizing that after the day was done, there was no use in worrying. During the downtime, I understood I couldn’t control everything. I had to realize what I control and go from there. It was deteriorating me into pieces that I didn’t like. In turn it was affecting my mental health to the point that I didn’t want to care for it. In the end, I learned that caring for my mental health mattered. It was important no matter what day of the week it was. It also mattered no matter what was going on. I had to move past the feelings I felt because they were no longer valid.

Once I let go of what I was feeling, things became much better. I live life more comfortably. I didn’t let what others were doing get in the way of my daily living. I thrive and not just survive. It has been a long road. I often wanted to run away from the issues I experienced every day. I no longer want to do that. I have more energy than I ever had. I am doing better. I have started to let go of the anger I was holding for so long. This anger was hurting me. Once I let go, I felt so much better about myself. I was capable of moving on with my life.
