It means you're still passionate enought about your situation to have strong feelings. Every time in my life that I've gotten to the 'acceptance' stage without having wrung myself out with the anger, I felt like I was surrendering without a fight. I didn't care. Anger motivates me to make changes. It spurs me to protect the ones I love from the situation - it makes me thing about what I have control over and what I don't. Then I focus on what I can control. Sometimes it's not very damn much, but there's always something. I'm all about the passion. It's what keeps my wheels on the road. Sometimes it's good passion, sometimes it's angry passion. For me, either is preferable to flat lining. The flip side is that it takes a lot of energy, which can be hard to maintain, for sure. I'm thinking about you and wishing I could do something to make it all better. I would if I could, you know... I’m no psychologist, but in my world, anger is a really good sign. It means you’re still passionate enought about your situation to have strong feelings. Every time in my life that I’ve gotten to the ‘acceptance’ stage without having wrung myself out with the anger, I felt like I was surrendering without a fight. I didn’t care. Anger motivates me to make changes. It spurs me to protect the ones I love from the situation – it makes me thing about what I have control over and what I don’t. Then I focus on what I can control. Sometimes it’s not very damn much, but there’s always something.

I’m all about the passion. It’s what keeps my wheels on the road. Sometimes it’s good passion, sometimes it’s angry passion. For me, either is preferable to flat lining. The flip side is that it takes a lot of energy, which can be hard to maintain, for sure.

I’m thinking about you and wishing I could do something to make it all better. I would if I could, you know…
