V is for ....

..Venting out Loud.

I’m a believer that you get what you give. I think we all have our moments where we feel a need to vent about a situation or person we’re unhappy with. We say things from the gut because it brings out such bad feelings. I think it’s normal to vent. You need to sometimes. I’m human, after all. But whenever I vent, I always end up feeling paranoid that I’m going to pay some sort of price for my feelings.

I don’t think I’m an ugly person inside, but I have guilt issues about most everything. And even when I have bad feelings about someone who has treated me poorly I always worry that by having bad feelings, I’m in turn, a bad person.

I have a good life and in so many ways it seems like it just keeps getting better. So I feel guilty when I complain about something. I want to rise above a situation or turn the other cheek, but there are times when it’s difficult and I wonder if when I do complain, I’m asking for something in return.

Hmmm… I don’t know… it’s one of those questions about life and the universe and it’s hard to say what the answer is.
