Self Control Is Hard

I'd like to say that I have a lot of self control and that I'm very mature and patient, but the reality is in a lot of situations I have a huge lack of it.

I tend to be very impulsive. When I get an idea of something I'm excited to do, it doesn't take long for me to do it without really thinking about what the consequences of my actions could be.

Emotion wise, as a 17 year old female, I lack self control in almost every way possible. I'm very emotional and I blame that on the mood swings. I cry very easily and I get mad easily as well. And as my friends say I "get triggered" very easily too.

Only it's a mess because when I get mad, I only stay mad for maybe an hour then I get over it and start feeling guilty about the things that I did wrong.

Being a teenager is hard, and it comes with way more emotions than someone like me can handle. I really hope that as I get older learning to control my emotions will be much easier because right now it's a serious pain in the butt.
