As a child...As a man

Playing~"anything"-Jay-z ft. Usher

Today, I just needed my space after playing merry go round with friends, associates, and snakes. After, the great weekend with friends and family I had to deal with drama (sighs). Today was a day of rest. I did nothing. All the tug of war wore me out. I really struggle with communicating professional when I'm pissed. I immediately want to go off and/or kick some a**. You know, back in the day if you were confronting someone it was going to be a fight or they were going to punk out. My temper is still an area of opportunity for me. While all the drama was going on I was able to keep the ego in check and communicate (for the most part) coridially. I've grown!!! My temper use to be something else. However, most people will never know that, because I keep it together well enough, but man do I struggle inwardly. I also struggle with express myself. Letting people know...you hurt me. I usually brush it off or fight with it within myself until I come to peace with it. It's tough for me to let a person know they got the best of me. Now I do a decent job of communicating to people how I feel about their actions. It's much better than keeping it in or wanting to kick their @** all the time. What things did you struggle as a child that you still struggle with as an adult.

I struggle with my temper too. As a child it was so much easier to just go off and fight if you needed to. Now as an adult and with the way things are you have to worry about charges, guns, gangs and a whole bunch of other bs. Now I usually keep my peace and it ends up eating me up on the inside because I like to always speak my mind when someone wrongs me.

D, you have to speak your peace. Don't hold it in...that's the worst. It leaves a burden on you.

I also have a temper and sometimes I still let it out. But now, I control it and it doesn't control me?

Great post.

I think I struggle most as an adult with being more passionate. Not in the love making sense but in the social sense. As a child and even throughout my teens, it was nothing for me to be the one to take up the cause and lead the fight on everyone's behalf but I soon realized that many times the leader becomes the reluctant martyr. People always claim to have your back but when the time comes, they will send you out on that limb by yourself and shake it for you.
