When I am pissed

I was the chair for my writers’ group on Monday. I didn’t have a nice day on Monday. Hence, the main exercise I set for the group was the prompt: “when I am pissed I…”. Here is what I wrote:

When I am pissed, I retreat to my room. I know I shouldn’t but I just long for peace. Peace in my world of stress-free living. I can only dream. I dream too much really.

I become blunt when I am pissed. I don’t mean to be. I hate being angry. Its an ugly emotion. I don’t mean to snap at you. I am just trying to figure myself out.

A lot of people don’t understand me when I am pissed. Its almost double the energy to explain why I am pissed. That makes me pissed.

I give up when I am pissed. I am trying to give up on complaining but I’m not a quitter. I go for walks when I am pissed. The footpaths don’t annoy me when I am pissed. That is something I know for sure.

Maybe one day I won’t be so quick to anger. I think its an ugly emotion, like I said before. I hate when I am angry and that makes me pissed.

It’s been a tough while lately. I am slowly getting out of it. I hope whatever hardships you are going through right now that you are slowly coming out of them too. We are all in this world together after all.

That’s all I have to say today. Thank you for reading and thank you for your time.
