Ever notice that good advice is often easy to give, but taking your own advice is much harder?

Some of my favorite quotes in the past have come from the above song. I was thinking of it a week or so ago and was so happy to hear it again.

I'm overwhelmed, but I'm functioning.

I'm so afraid to be weak.

Yes, I know this is a bunch of mumble jumble (sometimes I tell a story and sometimes it's just free thought to type...guess which this is)

I get sad and I turn it to anger.

I get so mad at myself when I can't bring myself down and gain control. I hate lashing out at others because I'm angry.

I despise the fact that often when I know I've lost control, I still act mad towards others rather than admitting to them that I had lost control and am sorry.

I usually do this, but it takes me a while. I want to learn to do it quicker- apologize sincerely.

And I want to gain control of my emotions more often than blowing up.

I'm far from perfect, but I am constantly trying to be a better me.

I don't even want to go into the roots of this blog (nor do you all really care)
