Anger, my friend

A close friend of mine, whom I got to know back in the psychiatric ward, asked me two days ago, what prompt me to be so much ‘better’ now. She wanted to know the secret ingredient to my ‘recovery’. I gave it some serious thought.

Anger.

Anger perhaps is the ONE emotion that has not betrayed me so far. Anger has given me courage, higher self-esteem, motivation, determination and the hunger to better improve myself.

I was reading my past personal writings. I came to realized that I was truly myself when I wrote in anger.

Even this piece of writing. I can write this because I am currently thinking about my past unsettled issues.

Perhaps one day, my anger might give me the courage to write them down.
