Sometimes I’m Mad as F

Sometimes I’m mad, and that’s okay.

Usually, I like to go beneath the surface and find out what’s causing my anger: sadness, embarrassment, worry. But sometimes, I just need to let “mad” be.

Today is that day. People I love are not okay. At least, that’s how it feels right now; those are my thoughts at the moment. For now, I WANT to feel mad.

I want to feel powerful. I want to find my strength and rage for the people I love who are not okay.

I’m not lashing out or yelling. I am simply feeling. And it’s okay to feel mad about circumstances that are out of our control once in a while. Later I’ll be sad, but for now, I’m choosing to be mad.
