Oh, my God, so much this.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Yeah, my rage feels pretty puny when I *do* let it out, and THAT pisses me off, too. It's a big complicated mess.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Thanks all! And Happy Phoenix Day!

Yeah, years of having my feelings ignored by my parents makes me feel like I can't get angry unless I'm somehow profound about it.

You can get past that, though, and get to a point where you can just be angry in a non-profound way. Seriously. Would Scrappy and I lie?
And I think you shouldn't ignore how huge it is -- if you're like me -- that you could identify and then acknowledge that you're angry at your parents. It look me until I was in my 30s, I'm pretty sure, to stop thinking the world would end if I was angry at my parents for doing shit that was/is legitimately rage-inducing. Before that, I really thought that if I even admitted I was angry at my parents -- my god, HOW could I even think I had the RIGHT to be angry at them??? -- the world would fucking end. There was no bigger rule than You Feel How I Say You Feel.

Happy Birthday Lee!
I think you should be proud, Tom Scola. I have mostly succeeded in not being angry by also not caring much about my mom. And then I feel guilty, because she is not horrible.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Jeez, guys, this is exactly what I was talking to my therapist about an hour ago. How if I'm not on the verge of dying, my feelings aren't worth having, let alone expressing. And if I feel so angry I want to Hulk-smash the world, well, I'm just calling attention to myself, I don't get to have such strong emotions. And especially I don't get to be angry with my family. Biggest no-no of all.
