This is for my friends and family on Facebook. However it goes out to anyone...

I just want to thank ALL of you for your prayers, kindness, love, and support. I feel, so much, better! I had a wonderful crying session. Aah! It felt great to let the tears flow freely as they are meant to do when the feeling hits. Now I am smiling. I did some writing and made a couple people laugh today just because, at times, I am, and today I was being silly. Sometimes I can't help that either—don't want to because that feels good too. Being angry is something I don't hold onto like I have in my past. Anger helps when used constructively for setting boundaries and when other things are needed. Constructively does not mean you have to be mean, rude, condescending, or disrespectful.

The other day I was angry. That's okay because I turned my anger into productive anger. I am happy that I learned to do that. Talking about it to someone who listens and cares how you feel is significantly helpful and healthy. The question for what happened is not just why it happened, but also HOW can I turn this into a positive outcome? Knowing, or trying to understand WHY it happened helps, but knowing and learning HOW to prevent or make it better is just as beneficial. How can I prevent this situation ever happening again to myself or anyone else? We were given the ability to have anger for good reason(s). Just to name one without going into detail--I got angry when innocence was violated. My anger led me down a path helping others. Also, my anger taught me how to help prevent that situation from ever happening again.

Now it's time to forgive. It is not a good thing to have resentments and revenge. It's not good to stay angry at others or yourself, or even at dis-ease. In order to forgive, there is a degree of understanding. However, not everything is understood, but making an HONEST EFFORT to understand will and is quite beneficial to the individual. Because I know that forgiving is extremely essential and worthwhile for me, I always do my best to understand. Of course, this mostly occurs after I get angry, not always, but mostly. One day I might just become a master and have complete understanding, insight, before I get angry eliminating any type of hinder-ism anger may cause.

There is a reason we were given tear ducts. Animals of all types have them. We are human beings. The world is not always euphoria; therefore, find time to cry your little heart out. You can even cry on someone's shoulders, someone you trust, someone who loves and cares for you. Crying is one of the best releases of many types of feelings like happiness, sadness, helplessness, even anger. So cry when you need to cry. Man, boy, woman, girl, child, we all have tear ducts; use them when you need to release. Most children, if left alone and not stopped or ever made to think crying is for babies and little girls, will cry without hesitation, without shame, without feeling stupid for doing so because this is NORMAL. It is NOT normal to hold back the tears when they want to flow. AGAIN, LET THEM FLOW. IT'S OKAY; IT'S NORMAL.
