To whom it may concern,

Anger was an emotion I have always tried to avoid, growing up in the household that I did, it was a very common emotion for my parents. I never wanted to be an "angry person", but I've noticed of late that I can't seem to have much control over that anymore. I know it's in there simmering away, I'm not sure when it will boil over and how long before I can put the wooden spoon on the pot to make it stop...Could it be from the stress that has happened to me of late or maybe I just don't see what is the point of living in a world that is designed to make it near impossible to even enjoy life?


All my life I was told that your 20s will be the freest and exhilarating time of a person's life. I hate to say that this has not been the case for me, almost the complete opposite. Instead of backpacking across Asia and Europe I am still stuck in my hometown, not able to afford 3 meals a day. Working dead end jobs and struggling with the terrible highs and lows of my Bipolar ridden mind. I have come a long way and I will always be proud of where I am today, but that anger is just getting stronger by the day. 


All I have is questions and no answers, but I guess thats the whole point in the end.

Thank you for this comment, it is nice to see that what I am feeling is shared by others. I hope that I am strong enough to make it to that happy ending.

The kind of future we used to dream of is being hit by our reality right now, doesn't it? I feel like the older we get, the deeper we see what life really is. It seems that life doesn't just go on our way, and every day it's draining us. But I know, one day, everything we are facing right now will totally make sense. Only those who are strong enough can see the happier end of life.
