it's incredible what anger can do to you...
you forget your promises.
you become terribly immature.
you overlook the tender moments.
you ignore everything that is good.
it (temporarily) erases all rational thoughts.
you disregard all the moments of breakthrough and hard work,
and allow yourself to be irresponsible with your words and actions.
anger makes you stupid.

dont look away...
face them head on.
sometimes i want to just turn away from my problems and hope for them to go magically disappear...heh. old habits have a way of finding their way back, and sometimes i give in to them. but at least the turnaround time these days is much shorter, and almost immediately, those nasty problems get zapped (with some help from my secret weapon, of course). ;)

high on life
...or perhaps just on people.
i had such a great day today. not necessarily typical of my sentiments when it comes to the beginning of a work week. but today's interactions with several people made the day so special that i had to write about it.
as i write this, there's a surge of energy running through me. a certain kind of energy i haven't felt in a while. as a self-professed introvert, i often prefer intimate interactions with one or two others, or even to be alone over larger social gatherings where i have to summon effort to talk to people.
today was a little different though. from the interactions i had with a few friends and coworkers, i realized how important it is to be social. today, i learned and shared...effortlessly.
in these small and seemingly superficial conversations i got to know others much better. and i write this not because i'm feeling sentimental, nor because of the content of these conversations. i just want to document this because of these unexpected opportunities for fellowship (which are there everyday, really). and more importantly, it's to remind myself that such a small effort resulted in a tremendous amount of smiles and a renewed desire to connect.
and whether or not these people share my feelings about the experience, it doesn't matter. i am just plain happy they were part of my day.
...so thank you for being part of today! ;)
