Positivity and fun memes are really really important for queer people but it’s also completely 100% OK to be frustrated and angry about your identity because no matter how much you love yourself and your identity, it’s still really hard to live in a world where that is not the norm and you don’t have to always accept that.

im not angry anymore

sometimes anger is many things all at once. 

>> stream of consciousness; tw: anger issues.

sometimes it's hard to control your anger. 

sometimes anger is red-hot, fiery, and passionate; as if there was never a time when it was not burning passion and clenched teeth and shouting at the wall, shouting at someone, shouting in your car on the freeway going ninety. 

but sometimes anger gets tired. feels like after the roar of the flame comes the embers. the barely burning log still lit only by sheer luck and lack of wind. sometimes anger hurts in the tense way that makes your jaw hurt, it makes any kind of movement stiff with tense muscles, trying not to cry in a weird hollowed-out red color— like it's pink but almost isn’t. 

sometimes being angry means clenching your teeth until your jaw hurts and letting your nails bite into your palms until there are tiny crescent-shaped cuts or bruises in your palms and letting your toes curl in your socks until the bones make a weird popping noise. 

but sometimes anger feeds and feeds into nothingness, after a while. sometimes you stay angry for so long, and then when you’re no longer angry, you don’t even remember exactly why you felt so pissed you could crack your teeth— it just doesn’t make any sense anymore. 

sometimes you’re angry only because you haven’t been in a while. 

sometimes it just hurts to breathe without acknowledging the tenseness of your muscles, the soreness of your jaw, the trembling of your fingers as you stare at them trying to calm down because they shaking too violently in the first place for you to do anything, so you hold up your hands to see how bad they are, and if you can make them still for a few seconds, but they end shaking even more violently because of the sudden focus on them. 

sometimes you’re angry. 

and then you take a couple of breaths, maybe cry a little bit, it’s okay. and then sometimes you’re not all that angry anymore.

You’re allowed to be mad at people for nothing, by the way. All those times that they stood by and just watched it happen to you matter. You can be angry. They hurt you however indirectly. They saw and they didn’t do anything and it is completely understandable if you’re pissed about that.

Go scream profanity. Don’t worry, I’ve got your back.

i have the rage of a straight white man. but i’m a woman so that makes it so much worse. like when men get mad they yell, scream, punch holes in dry wall, you know. but when women get mad we get vengeful. like i may not punch holes in dry wall but i’ll ruin your life.

Saying to a person with anger issues “stop being angry” when you KNOW they have anger issues is like telling a poor person to “just stop being poor” or a blind person to “open their eyes”. at this point you’re just gaslighting them. If you’re dealing with someone who got Anger issues :  -Don’t ignore them  -Listen to what they have to say  -Don’t force opinions or advice on them  -Give them space if they need it  -”Can i speak now ?” “Calm down” is a no no  These are the things that work on me and a few other friends in the same situation. I am no psychological professional, im just here to give advice about a subject i am familiar with.
