Sabah, this was so beautifully written and heartfelt. I love the way you personified Anger to say, “My fire does not have to be destructive. Use my flames for how they were intended, and you can set your life on fire - in the most beautiful ways.” I truly felt this - how anger, just like any other emotion when expressed with the right balance, can serve us instead of make us suffer. Historically speaking, I feel like women specifically have been discouraged from expressing their anger, precisely because they have so much to be angry about. By taking away our anger and our authentic voices, the system was more easily able to subjugate us. But no more. Thank you for sharing how Anger can indeed be like a best friend, a confidante, someone worthy of being seen and heard. This is one of my favorite posts you’ve written.❤️ And thank you so much for recommending my essay!!!❤️🥰😘
Nida, thank you as always, my beautiful friend. I love what you said about women being discouraged from expressing their anger because we have so bloody much to be angry about! TRUTH!!! As a collective, we must transmute the energy of that suppressed anger into conscious change for us all. It begins with us. 🙏🏼 Also, always eagerly awaiting your next piece.💛
