Eide Shoma Mobarak is the greeting.
Whoops, sorry about that. Eide Shoma Mobarak!
Oh, wow. This place looks great. Oh, I feel like a witch in a magic shop.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Thanks, Suzi, Eide Shoma Mobarek! It sounds like a lovely holiday.
I wish I'd known about the new clothes, I have new stuff I could have worn today. Well, my shoes are new, at least.

Suzi, that sounds awesome.
I'm at school and have arranged a day for me to get caught up on nonsense I cannot stay caught up on (AKA grading).
Now if I can actually get anything done!

It's a lovely holiday, Eide Shoma Mobarak!
I think anger is okay, but it's very easy to express in toxic ways.
I'd agree with that clarification. I can think of times when anger can be useful or can bring things into focus. But IME anger often gets in the way of more productive responses to things, which may just mean that *I* tend to shift into toxic around it.

I think that anger often is actually unexpressed hurt. So we say "I'm so angry..." when we mean "I'm really hurt that I've been disregarded..."

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Anger is much easier to access for most people, than fear or hurt. THINGS I HAVE LEARNED FROM MAC!

Our wings are not tired.
Eide Shoma Mobarak! One more question, does this always coincide with the first day of Spring? (Actually I Googled and yes) I was unaware of this. I need to send greetings to my local Persian friend.
I'm sitting with tommyrot, anger makes me extremely uncomfortable. I have to remove myself from the vicinity. It seems to get worse as I age.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I'm sitting with tommyrot, anger makes me extremely uncomfortable.
Me too. Certainly there are better and worse ways to deal with it/express it, but it makes me uneasy regardless. Childhood trauma, hello, old not-friend.
Spring, where is spring. It'll be 70 degrees on Saturday, and then... we're supposed to get more fracking snow next week.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
