i'm so mad right now, and angry and upset.
after some arguments between some older kids; i was in the middle. all over stupid shit.
big feelings. i don't know how to process my emotions or what I do with them.
i don't have a punching bag, so i'm off for a walk. i don't know. these feelings feel stuck. i feel stuck. UGH.
a common belief in adults today is “oh kids are so touchy-feely, everyone is being overly sensitive to them and their emotions...”
i could use more touchy-feeling-ness (if that’s a word). the future of success will be based on emotional smarts (resilience, empathy, anxiety...) - not book smarts.
i'm finally leveling up my emotional smarts at 50 (which is coming up fast). I wish I'd had the chance to learn the same “feelings ropes” when I was younger.

ps: my 18 year old daughter came back in last night pissed off. “dad can we go to a boxing class together? i need to hit something!” umm.. yeah! (better she takes that out on something else than her convenient father heeheeeee)
