Sometimes when something annoys me, I get frustrated and agitated. I lash out and get all moody, maybe I might speak to someone about it. Maybe not. But when something like that happens in that moment, that very moment I always remind myself to stop. I always, let's re-emphasize ALWAYS remind myself that I will regret it, stop, think, breathe and move on. Walk pass by it and deal with it even if it pisses me off to the max. And in the end you know that your've dealt it right and that's what makes you a good person. You don't let ignorance and annoyance get to you.
That's what I always say. Let the person be annoying because that's what a good person does.
For example, I was rearranging my room and found stacks of unwanted boxes filled with old cutlery, empty bottles and plastic bags knowing that my mum had put them in there. I knew I had to take them out of my room and chuck it away because it's been lying in my room for years and it basically hasn't been touched. I found more boxes, more toys I didn't want (though it was hard leaving my childhood) and paper from primary/ highschool. So it took me a day to get my room organized and clean, free from all the junk. And in the end my mum sees all the things I wanted to dispose and she thought to KEEP them. I specifically told my mum to chuck them away, you're not going to use it, it's old and such a waste. Where else are you going to put it?!?!
Okay I didn't say that. Actually I didnt say anything at all LOL Those were my thoughts.
My mum simply asked me 'You don't want all of this?' and I answered with a nodd. Then she took all the boxes somewhere, probably her room and hid them in her closet. I didn't even argue or lash out at her because I told myself that I would regret it and feel bad for screamig at my mum. She can do whatever she wants as long as that junk isn't in my room.
Yeah there have been many other scenarios but most of the time it's with my mum. Usually with my mum I stop and breathe in front of her before I say something regretful. So I let her win :) Wednesday, December 21, 2011 5:32 PM
