6. I am keeping my outrage and anger tamped down

Oct 2018

I'm angry and I am resolved but letting the uncontrollable outrage, for me anyway, is unproductive. It almost paralyzes my thinking so I just try to look forward. I'm mad but I am not going to let it defeat and crush me. They're fuckers and I never expected anything different. I just keep some hope that Nov will turn the tide and will concentrate on that.

Fight on another day!
