If someone says that you are mad or ask you why, they are normally referring to your body language or tone of voice. When you are angry, you leave a presence that people immediately sense when conversing with you. Anger is such an intense feeling, what does it really do to you? No one will ever know except you. There are many ways you can tell or show someone how you feel, but people can never feel exactly the way you do. How do we expect people to understand us when at times, we don’t even understand ourselves? We need to get to know ourselves, and understand our feelings and how they affect us.

I didn’t always understand myself, and I am still confused till this day. Although I don’t always understand everything, I am learning more and more everyday. One of the feelings that I keep learning more about is anger. I learned that I am not just the generic definition of “anger." I am not really mad, I am passionately angry. When I feel this way, I have a lot to rant about. Anger gives me a lot to say, and a lot to feel. When I talk about what has angered me or how angry I am, this feeling becomes more powerful. As I continue to let my anger escape, I learn that deep down, it is not all anger. I have learned about other emotions that fuel the passionate feeling which causes the anger to ignite. Anger is more of a result rather than a cause.

Although this article makes me seem like an angry person, I am actually described as very happy and upbeat. Why does this make sense? Why is this possible? This is how I initially feel, but it evolves into anger. When happiness fails to be felt, anger pours out. My goal in life is to always be happy, and love what I do. As a result of those goals, I have become a much more passionate person. Now my anger is closely tied with my passion which causes my emotions to be more intense.

There is never really one pure emotion. They all take part in making up an attitude and personality. At times they are hard to understand, and difficult to explain. It is completely okay to not understand because we are supposed to learn. No one walks into life knowing how everything works and understanding everything they are presented with. Getting to know your feelings is one of the first steps in getting to know yourself. Take the time to learn about yourself and why you do certain things because it will make your interactions with others much easier to understand. This one emotion alone has taught me many things about myself, and it opened my mind to other perspectives. Although I have learned a lot, that does not mean that I will know everything. I am completely OK with that because that means I only have the ability to grow. The more you learn the more wisdom you will obtain. Don’t just take the easy way out and only focus on the surface of situations. Dig down deeper to find the what lies underneath. If I didn’t go beneath the surface, I would just be a that girl that has an attitude.
