Five Minute Freewrite: still living with that

There are alot of behaviours we tend to leave behind as we grow up, and there are some that stay with us and some that even grow with us. I remember I had a little bit of an anger issue while growing up, and if my memories still serve me well, I know it gets worse if I see myself bleeding.

Eventually, I had to grow up and learn to control my anger. Although I occasionally get comments like I am too gentle and I should get angry once in a while, I would simply smile because I have been there, gotten angry, but it was not worth it. I had once read somewhere that “Gentleness is strength under control”, so I am sticking to being a gentle Lion.

I had often quarreled and fought with my sibling growing up, and I do feel deep down that they still fear or have respect for me because they don’t want to get me angry. Some of my friends would even ask if I am still living with that anger issue, and I would simply laugh, knowing how far I had come and who I currently am.

There are a lot of things we are all currently still living with, and I know it can either be good or bad. However, I would suggest that we let go of the bad and create a new good, and if not possible to create a new good, then let's value the old good things we have.
