This made me think.

I just read this post from C. Jane Kendrick. I will occasionally drop by her blog and find a lot of the things she writes to be very thoughtful. This post just reminded me so much of myself as a teenager. I think we all have angst as teenagers (or was it just me?), and letting go of it is an important rite of passage. From the post: 

I use anger constantly to feel validated and smart. If I'm lonely or bored or hungry I need a hit. It's mostly mental, the way it pools up in my head and I start to think about issues or people who anger me, and with that anger pumping in my veins, I can accomplish almost anything I need to accomplish. I don't yell or scream, I don't hit or punch, I just think.

It's worth a read, especially if you ever feel your angsty teenage self come a creepin.
