A Small Push

Sometimes we need to scream out our anger. We need to ball it up inside of us and let it explode as a cry or as a yell, muffled by a pillow or out loud. All that drama and frustration that has happened to us over the past week or month has been building up inside of us like a shaken soda bottle. To clean out our system, we have to open that bottle and have it poured out. It is dangerous to bottle things inside ourselves, but most of us try to repress it and keep it to ourselves.

Sometimes, we need a little help getting that angst out. A small rub on the back from a love one or some kind words as we are near the edge of breaking down keeps us stable. We know that someone is there that will catch us when we fall and help us clean up after our spill, which makes our release easier.
