Do you know something I realised today? I have been so worried about getting angry at rage bait, rage bait news, rage bait social media…

Reading these words from angry people makes me angry, I was so worried that my mental health was declining because there’s more rage than ever…

I thought I was losing control of myself…

But the problem is not me, it’s the article, or the social media post, or the toxic community of whatever, I was absorbing all the rage as if it was some deep inbuilt fault of my own, like it was a broken part of myself, blaming myself for getting upset, but that’s not what’s happening…

It’s the content’s problem not mine, it’s the author’s broken brain, not mine, my reaction was a rational, and dare I say, justified one, me getting upset is ok, that’s not the problem, the content is the problem.

I was soooo quick to blame myself and I want to remember it’s ok to have emotions
