Bottled resentments

I'm actually in a good mood today. Be it far from perfect, I'm grateful to all the people in my life. Including my mother. There's nothing in this world that can change my love for her. In spite of myself, I have to humble my dignity.

My prayers have been answered. It's going to be a kick to my behind, but I've learned my lesson. Like a good little girl, I'll celebrate the life of my existence.

There's a saying that God works in mysterious ways. Be it far from mysterious, it's a wonder. I'm truly humbled. For those readers who have missed my previous blogs, don't fret. I shouldn't have let my emotions get to me. Especially when I'm angry.

I've always dreamed of living atop the mountain. If I ever get to be in such a foul mood, I'd climb the rocks to the top and scream, "WHY?!" Let all the bottled resentments drift into the wind. Maybe cry a little. Then reminisce my accomplishments. Nobody knows my inner struggles but me. I know this. As stubborn as I get, and adamant as I want to be, I will stand firm where I am. I have to also sway like the trees in the midst of the howling wind.

My storms are ephemeral but harsh. In most thunderstorms, I used to sit in the rain and wait for my sorrows to drown in it. With all the pollution, I can't sit out in the rain anymore. As much as I want to conserve water, I need to have the bottled resentments washed away.

I rarely ask for help because I don't feel justified imposing my negative vibes on people. I have written in the previous blog: Unnecessary pettiness [archived], "As passionate as I am artistic, I am able to look past the first impression and see through others like a prism. The brighter the person emits their energy, the greater the passion I reflect back towards them."

I now have to constantly remind myself that I have people I can look up to and turn to for help. I believe God led them my way for a reason. God, I'm listening. I'm here. Thank you.
