Ah, Anger!

I wake up every day with a feeling of unease. Before I even open my eyes, I can hear the sound of traffic on the street outside. The loud honking of horns, the screeching of brakes, the roar of engines. It's enough to make me feel irritated and angry.

I get up and put on some music to try and drown out the noise. But even that doesn't help. I can still hear the sound of my neighbor's dog barking, the thumping of construction work nearby, and the rumble of the metro passing by.

It's like the world is out to get me, to annoy me, to frustrate me. And I can't help but feel angry about it. My heart races, my blood pressure rises, and my fists clench. I want to scream, to lash out, to break something.

I know it's not healthy to feel this way, but I can't help it. Sometimes I feel like the only way to release my anger is to let it all out, to go on a rampage and destroy everything in my path. But I know that's not the solution.

So I take a deep breath, close my eyes, and try to calm down. I remind myself that anger is just an emotion, and I have the power to control it. I try to think of happy thoughts, to focus on the good things in my life, to let go of the things that are bothering me.

It's not easy, but it works. Slowly but surely, my heart rate comes down, my breathing slows, and my fists unclench. I open my eyes and look outside. The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, and the world seems a little less hostile.

I realize that the noise outside isn't going to stop. The world isn't going to change just because I'm angry. But I can change how I react to it. I can choose to let things bother me, or I can choose to let them go.

And with that realization, my anger fades away. Ah, the sweet relief of calmness.
