I carry a lot of anger and resentment.

My past was very rough and disastrous. I was living a life of turmoil for soo long. It was like an ongoing nightmare. I felt trapped and naive. Many people were cruel with me. Many hurtful memories. I am trying to let go of the anger because it has only made me unhappy. The anger is overwhelming and scares me. It’s like I’m about to explode. I don’t like to feel like this anymore. I’ve had it with these feelings. Everyone pays the price for the wrong they do. It’s time to let things go and feel free from the emotional pain. What happened has already happened. I just felt like writing something meaningful, lol. 😂

I also had a lot of anger built up from my childhood, and other bad things that happened during my marriage.
I’ve learned to control it mostly now, but sometimes it still comes out.
Gotta let the past be the past. Otherwise those people who did you wrong have won, because they’re not thinking about all those things and letting it affect them, only you are. They’ve all moved on. You also have to forgive and move on. You can’t change what happened, only how you move forward from here.

@travelguy01 I’m sorry, I know you had some problems in the past as most of us do. Holding on to the anger isn’t healthy for us and will only destroy us if we let it. Those people that hurt us don’t give a damn. I feel like I let them win because my mentality is very negative. I’m going to change that from now on.

@SW-User I hope you are able to succeed in that pursuit.
I read a book called The Miracle Morning by Hal Elrod nearly a year ago and started following what it recommended, and it really helped me a lot.

@travelguy01 I should check it out. I’ve read soo many self help books but they didn’t really help much. I should read more of them and see if I can find the right one for me.

@travelguy01 I've moved on, but I don't forgive for f*cking me Over. Otherwise I'm pretty much neutral.

You don’t have to forgive but let go of the anger inside. @DropTopDig
