If you are ever have the feeling of sadness and anger and you can't help but position your fingers like you are strangling someones neck because you are so frustrated. Punching things may seem like a good idea at the time. It isn't really. but if you must punch something. Don't punch the wall, the holes won't get fixed and your hand gets bruised. Don't punch a mirror. They punch back. I punched a mirror this morning. I was just looking into the mirror in my bathroom, staring blankly at my reflection. I was looking for something, but I didn't know what. It was something specific. Suddenly I felt disgusted and powerless and all the other emotions listed at the beginning. Before I knew it my arm was extending and my hand was balled in a fist. I struck the mirror with a force harder than I thought was possible for myself. My hand will be as scarred as my knee pretty soon. The mirror shattered and the wooden backing splintered. Punching things doesn't make me less angry, it doesn't help relieve any of the overwhelming emotions, It just gives you glass shards in your hand and another morning in the hospital. Will I think before I punch something the next time? We can hope, but I wouldn't count on it.
