32. Unrelenting doesn't have to mean noticeable, even.

Unrelenting just means it never stops, never gives up. It's always there.

And there's not enough anger in this heart to fill a teaspoon, today. Anger is good and desirable at times, but today? Today is sunny and there's a candle nearby and it smells good. Too much anger for today
