Anger...... & Pain

There were things that "made" me angry. 
And I would blame those things for "making" me angry. 

Instead of realizing that I was the one getting angry. 
Did I have my reasons? Yes. 
At least I thought I did. 
But did I?

When I get hurt, I get "upset."
But I don't have to get hurt or upset about that. 

I'm the one who lets whatever hurts, hurt. 
Because it doesn't have to... 
It's a reaction to things that we deem "heartbreaking."

When we realize certain things and accept those things, 
it makes it easier to deal with things we struggle with. 

"Past hurts hold people back from getting on with their present."

We don't need to be captured by our bitterness. 
We don't have to be bitter.

A lot of time, we bury our anger. 
So it keeps coming up. 
What we suppress usually comes out eventually. 
Whatever feeling it is. 
Even when we fight our feelings of love for someone. 

Sometimes we bury anger for a long time. 
If it's anger from not getting what we want... 
Why do we think we have to get what we want?

Here's a story I found online today...

The Lie told The Truth that the well water was nice
and they should jump into it and bathe together.
The Lie jumped out and took the clothes of The Truth. 
The Truth tried to get her clothes back. 
The World saw the naked Truth and got angry.
Now The Lie walks The Earth dressed as The Truth. 
The World is happy with this
and nobody wants to see the naked Truth.  

My friend asked me a few days ago what the *I* is.
I guessed that it is one of three things.
The individuality, the intellect, or the identity.

Because I was saying that the slingshot things of Friday
was the Universe saying to let go
of the things that are holding you back....

Then he was saying what is the thing that is doing the letting go?
The thing that is letting go is the *I* 
If I am the one letting go.

Today, I decided to get myself a treat.
I got some watermelon and some cantaloupe.
As I was leaving the store, I looked up
and I saw my number. 217.

I see it and I think "I'm right where I'm supposed to be,
in this place, at this time."

There's more I am going to write about this.
