🔥 Anger Series — “I’m Not Okay, and I’m Not Gonna Pretend”

1. I Got Angry. Really Angry.

It wasn’t cute.
It wasn’t calm.
It was the kind of angry where you can feel it behind your eyes.
Tight fists. Fast breath.
Nowhere to put it.

People say, “You’ll feel better if you talk about it.”
But what if I don’t want to talk?
What if I just want to feel it—raw, loud, and real?

2. The Anger I Didn’t Know Was Still There

I thought I had moved on.
I told myself I forgave.
I smiled through it, acted like it didn’t bother me.
But then something small happened—
and it all came rushing back.

That’s the thing about anger.
You can bury it deep,
but it doesn’t go away.
It waits.

3. Sometimes I’m Not Angry at You—Just Everything

You didn’t do anything.
But I snapped.
Because I’m tired. Because nothing’s working.
Because I’ve been holding too much too quietly.

And sometimes, when the pressure builds,
the smallest thing breaks the seal.

I’m sorry.
But also…
I needed to let it out.

4. I Don’t Want to Be Calm Right Now

I know how to self-soothe.
I know how to breathe, journal, be mature.
But today? I don’t want that.
Today I want to yell.
Today I want someone to say,
“Yeah, that sucks. I’d be mad too.”

Not fix it.
Just feel it with me.

5. Anger Isn’t Always Destructive—Sometimes It’s Honest

I used to think being angry meant I was broken.
Out of control. Immature.
But now I think: maybe anger is just another way my body says,
“This hurt.”
“This isn’t fair.”
“You deserve better.”

It’s not about staying angry forever.
But sometimes, feeling it is the first honest thing I’ve done all day.
