It makes you human. While I admire people who handle crappy situations with grace and a smile on their face, it makes me feel inadequate. Because when crappy things happy to me, I generally react the exact opposite way. I think people who never allow themselves to be angry or get frustrated with their crappy situation are living in denial. They're just pushing their feelings aside and one day it's all going to boil over. I think it's important to let ourselves feel every emotion that we feel. It can be very cathartic. The hard part is knowing when the feeling has pushed past cathartic and transferred to wallowing.THE SARCASM GODDESShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16701902616479991303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5224100136962162818.post-3076247153860922392012-06-18T09:20:06.059-07:002012-06-18T09:20:06.059-07:00Thanks so much, Shell!Thanks so much, Shell!Jennifer Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06543609958581052245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5224100136962162818.post-72487511976040794602012-06-18T08:28:28.574-07:002012-06-18T08:28:28.574-07:00You really are strong- but you are allowed to have...You really are strong- but you are allowed to have your weak moments, girl!

The what-ifs, the fears, it takes work to be this strong when all you want to do is crawl under the covers. You have every right to be angry. It sucks to be so tired all the time.
