“Don’t forget that you’re human. It’s ok to have a meltdown. Just don’t unpack and live there. Cry it out and then refocus on where you are headed.”— Unknown
what are you even supposed to do when youre angry. cant scream at anyone cos im not a dick. cant break anything cos i paid money for that. cant rip my hair out cos i need it on my head. literally what now
some options, because it’s way healthier to express your emotions than to shove them down and bottle them up - including anger:
- go somewhere private to scream (cars are a good option)
- punch a pillow
- go somewhere outdoors and not busy and just throw whatever you find - rocks, branches, etc
- go for a walk, run, workout, whatever suits you. exercise uses up a lot of the stress hormones involved in anger
- talk it out with someone who’s happy to listen
- if no-one’s available to listen, write down what’s on your mind
- deep breaths, music, stims, whatever helps to calm you until you’re in a time and place where you can express yourself more freely
- and last but definitely not least: say you’re angry! to whoever you’re angry at, even! consider what outcome you’d like from this conversation and if it’s attainable. you might need to process your anger in other ways first, so that you’re calm enough to work towards whatever goal you have

You’re not a kid anymore. You have the right to choose your own life. You can start again. If you want a cat, all you have to do is choose a life in which you can have a cat. It’s simple. It’s your right.
Haruki Murakami
“Because a song can take you back instantly to a moment, or a place, or even a person. No matter what else has changed in you or the world, that one song stays the same, just like that moment. Which is pretty amazing, when you actually think about it.”— Sarah Dessen

People are so vulnerable at night. They’re willing to spill out their souls to anyone willing to listen. They have desires to do things that never cross their mind when the sun is in the sky.
