Honest conversation, the best kind of conversations ❤️

I use to think anger helped me, then after I was angry with something or someone,they would be fine . Then I would be angry with myself because because I felt my anger showed no impact,plus I would feel guilty for my anger or what I had done wrong. So in a way I was like a grown up child having a tantrum & expressing my self in a way by all the things I had seen on films or television programs & computer games. Because I had never been taught how to handle anger. But still inside I had enough compassion to feel angry with myself & guilty & sorry. Unlike other people I have no voices in my head to blame except my own.. if I ever see any of the people I may have hurt or been angry with. I will say sorry for hurting them & tell them I carry no anger & their life would be much better if they didn't carry their anger or mine.
