Are you always Angry?

Hey guys!

Anger being a waste of energy? Does anger make things worse? Maybe once or just all the time?

Honestly this is such a iffy topic to talk about because when you feel angry most of the time you dont really think about the consequences that come after.  For example your brother uses one of your favorite shirts you just bought, you haven't even worn it yet and he wears it to school! So your pissed at the moment and you curse him out and tell him you hate having a brother and wish you never had one, just saying the nastiest things. After a while your blood is still boiling and things can go many different ways. But either at this point you yare feeling so ... overly charged with so much energy you don't even know where to even put or leave it. So you punch a wall or scream in your pillow and feel a little bit better.  But what if your brother knows you didn't mean those things and later on really contemplates on it.  Being "emotional" about it (as everyone says) or he let the words get to him.  Now what? You apologize or maybe just try to brush it off like it never happened. But that energy is still there, within both of you. Sometimes we don't have the power to even control that.. or do we? What about for the people that can't really control how angry they get; where they can not think for a second right before they get angry and think to themselves " hmmmp, I am about to angry and I don't really care for what anyone even thinks."  That never happens. Emotions just happen no matter how much we try to hold back, and pretend they are not there.

Anger is so powerful that no one can ever catch it before it slips out. What is the real definition of anger? or being angry?


Anger is a normal emotion with a wide range of intensity, from mild irritation and frustration to rage. It is a reaction to a perceived threat to ourselves, our loved ones, our property, our self-image, or some part of our identity. Anger is a warning bell that tells us that something is wrong.

Some say it can be healthy or it could be opposite.  Honestly my opinion of being angry: it is not worth wasting negative energy when that can be put into positive energy that can benefit you!! (But again being angry happens to everyone!) Emotions is another topic.. but do we seek emotions to feel more comfortable?

Being conscious is one thing, but taking action and trying new ways to become less angry takes practice. Whats one way you try to not get so upset?

Helping others? Get started!

Everyday I'm on the subway and usually a homeless or starving person give out a little insight about their struggle. Asking if anyone can donate change or a few dollars. I've observed this so many times, I mean every single time I'm on the train everyone that's sitting down or standing up in their own worlds, trying to get wherever they are trying to get to, simply turn away/ look down/ pretend / continue what they were doing. Which is.. minding their own business as if  no one was talking to them. 

I'm not saying to give all your money to every homeless person that asks for it, but what I'm saying is if we really want to help in any kid of way; We should first start with where we live. In our communities. In our own country. 

I didn't realize how bad homelessness was until I left my hometown and first visited San Fransico in California with my gap year program.   There was a nice 4 star hotel on one block and you would walk around the block and see so many homeless people walking around, laying down with such a sad face. There were soup kitchens and places for them to stay but never enough for ALL of them, leaving hundreds without a bed or a blanket. 

I couldn't believe how many people that worked in the city everyday could just walk by without wanting to do something about it.

There are so many more issues than just homelessness. 

But my advice? Start with volunteering in your own community. Research is the answer.  the holidays are around the corner and we should get in the spirit of helping!

Ready, set, GO!

So this is my attempt on having weekly posts! I mean I first need to start by saying that my spelling is horrible and I will keep my eye out for you guys. This blog doesn't have one specific focus; its more around life, acting, film, art, natural hair, success, struggles, traveling, friends, family, fun, discussions of the REAL world.  

I am originally from Boston but currently living New York following my ambition to become an Actress. How did i get here? Its a long and complicated journey but I am so appreciative of myself for really having the guts to do what I love. I attend the New York Film Academy and have been loving every moment.  I am still trying to get to know blogger so there will be some changes coming soon!

Once a week I will load a blog on the page! So hope you all enjoy!

xoxo,
