Anger, Part 3
Is it a bad thing that I’m enjoying the process of writing my series on anger? I don’t know what it is, but there is something about writing on a subject I don’t experience that makes me excited.

I get stressed very easily, I am very emotionally sensitive, I cry at the drop of a hat, but I’m not an angry person. *shrug* It’s just not in me to actually be outwardly angry.
