Loved it! You are right... there is no switch that we can push to change being reserved or guarded etc (though many times I have wished for one) it is hard work. I am slowly starting to learn it... work in progress.

Sometimes life definitely is too complicated and it sucks. I got the advice once that when anger hits (the illogical kind that you cannot do anything with) find a pillow and punch it with an inch of its life. It doesn't make the underlying issue go away but it feels damn good to release a bit.

Hope the rest of the weekend feels a bit lighter for you.
