Keeping things in perspective

[Guest guest]

Anger and resentment can stop you in your tracks. That's what I know

now. It needs nothing to burn but the air and the life that it

swallows and smothers. It's real, though. The fury. Even when it

isn't it can change you ... turn you ... mold you and shape you into

someone you're not.

The only upside to anger then, is the person you become. Hopefully,

someone that wakes up one day and realizes that they're not afraid of

its journey. Someone that knows that the truth is, at best, a

partially told story. That anger, like growth, comes in spurts and

fits and in its wake, leaves a new chance of acceptance and a promise

of calm.

Then again, what do I know? I'm only a child.
