As a kid, I noticed how easy it was for me to get upset at the most little things and I hated that feeling. If someone wasn’t seeing things my way, I will get angry. Back then, all I wanted was to be right and nothing else.
I knew nothing about anger management and I had taken that same character online. I remember fighting with almost everyone online. There was this very close lady friend of mine who is a Ghanaian, we would come at each other everyday on this whatsapp group that everyone got tired of us and then she left.
Fast forward to two years later. I was now fully aware of my anger problem and was seriously trying to take care of it. I no longer rushed into conclusions, I just listen and keep calm. I’ve noticed that taking things slow always has a way to help with the anger.
I returned back to the same group and it didn’t take long for someone who knew the way I was before to point out that there now was something different about me. He said that the Prayzz he knew wasn’t this quiet, and I told him that I no longer had time for things that aren’t important but someone replied that that wasn’t it. “You’re now matured” he wrote and it got to me because I knew that was the truth.
Things that normally would get me upset in the past no longer do because now I know that there’s more to life than just myself and I’ve learnt to accept that I cannot always be right all the time. Understanding all of that has someone made me become less angry during the years and I’m very happy with my growth so far.
I used to be the kid who got upset about everything, now I just don’t care about anything.
