Shadow work, mh (+) 

Let's be real, I am an angry person, and I am okay with this. It is what allowed me to keep my self esteem after an altercation, even if the person tried to gaslight me, this anger is what motivates me to keep the fire inside me and protect those I love in order to spite those who hate me and those close to me.

Moreover, it's what would allow me to flip the board when the evil people I deal with think they have all the pieces.

People are afraid of anger because they don't know how to control it or don't give it the respect it deserves. They speak of controlling it when what they really mean is pushing it aside so that white-educated therapists can inject their brand of repression and politeness politics into people who would have benefited from embracing the fire.

The recent years have shown me that things that were considered negative emotions simply isn't automatically bad, rather it means that they are more intense emotions that are harder to harness.
