How to Remove Anger from Your life

Anger, in my opinion, is one of the noisiest emotion a human can have. People insult, hurt, and even kill in a rage of anger. In movies, the protagonist will only take action when anger is carved in his/her eyes and flows through the sweat beads that sit on their brow. I feel that anger is such a superficial emotion; it comes and goes like a rainbow after the rain or a spoilt child who throws the first gift aside to open the remaining 56.

A long time ago, I learned that growing up a brown female in a somewhat conservative family, being angry didn’t look pretty on me. Being an introvert, I never showed how angry I was, and honestly, for a long time, I just thought that I didn’t deserve to be angry and whatever the world threw at me was acceptable.

Eventually, I learned that I could be as angry as my bullies and others around, but how get over it?

So I did an exercise on how to deal with my anger towards others. It allowed me to see that I had so much hidden anger towards so many things and that I was in total denial about it. I appeared to be a calm, collected person, but once something from the past would trigger my anger, I would just fall into a depression. For years, I had this silent killer in me without even knowing it. Once I figured what was pulling me down, I had to slash those demons.
