secrets from the past
posted 2003 July 29th @ 153am under rantings of a hemoglobin

yesterday i had dinner with my neighbors and somehow we got to talking about how strict my mom is. they said that they used to hear my mom yelling all the time at my oldest bro, kai, all the way from their house. looking back, i have no images of my mom yelling at kai… only those of her yelling at me. it’s moments like these that help me step out of my own lil world and see through someone else’s eyes. before this, i didnt quite understand my bro… looking back, i finally realize that kai had to take in so much and nestled in all the pressure and expectations my parents imposed on him lies the reason(s) he is the person he is today.

…i will try not to be the bratty lil sis i am to him sometimes…

-just settled for punching the wall to convert all the anger inside you into pain and risking the chance of it happening again

or

-just yelled @ your friends coz deep down you felt they really deserved it even tho they only stand @ a level only a millimeter down from that of your family

Hey Mindy,
First I would like to say I like your picture… :) hehe
Second I would like to reply to your question. Although it would be good to know the entire story, I can state my opinion. Punching the wall will hurt a lot, I have tried it. Unfortunately, getting rid of your anger is not going to make the problem go away, it may come back and hunt you. On the other hand, yelling at someone may make them feel really bad, even if they deserve it. It sounds like the person is a very close friend. In order to not hurt yourself and not hurt the other person, it is best if you can sit down with the person and explain what you are feeling. Talking is the way to go on this one.
I hope my answer is not too long. I’m just stalling from doing reading for research.

yeah..i agree w/ jewl. i think u should just talk to the person if the situation bothers you this much. glad my spaghetti-pancake story put a smile on your face tho. =P
