Oh, dear, where do I even begin with this one? Angry exes, huh? I reckon most folks have been there, don’t matter if you’re young or old. When someone hurts you, especially someone you loved, it feels like a big ol’ weight on your heart, don’t it? And sometimes, that anger just doesn’t seem to go away, no matter how hard you try. You wake up with it, go to bed with it, and it eats at ya like a gnawing rat in the corner of your mind. I know, sugar, I know. It’s a tough thing to get over, but let me tell ya a thing or two about how to deal with it.
First off, let me just say, it’s okay to be mad. When that person done you wrong, treated you like dirt, or maybe even betrayed you, you’ve got every right to be angry. Anger’s just a way for your heart to say, “Hey, I’m hurt! This ain’t right!” and if you don’t feel angry, then maybe you’re just fooling yourself. You gotta feel that anger, sugar, before you can even think about letting it go. And letting it go? Well, that’s a whole other story.
Now, don’t you go thinking that time alone will fix it all. Nope, it don’t work like that. Time might help, but it’s what you do with that time that really counts. Sitting there, moping, or just letting the anger stew in you? That ain’t gonna help one bit. You can’t just wait for the anger to go away, because sometimes it just sticks around like a bad smell in the house. What you gotta do is deal with it head-on, like you would when something’s really bothering you on the farm.
For one, you gotta start by looking at what happened, real close like. Was it just a mistake? Maybe they didn’t mean it? But if it was a betrayal, and they hurt you on purpose, honey, you gotta admit that. Ain’t no use in lying to yourself. That kinda hurt runs deep, but that’s the thing — you’re hurt, not broken. Ain’t no reason to let them take any more of your peace, even if they ain’t around no more.
Talk it out with someone who won’t judge you. I’m not talking about your mama or your best friend — I’m talking about someone who can listen, really listen, and help you sort through all those jumbled-up feelings. Get it out of your chest, because holding onto all that anger? That’s like carrying a basket of rocks around all day. It’s too heavy, and it’ll wear you down quicker than a long winter.
But, sugar, don’t go beating yourself up over feeling angry either. It’s natural. When someone does ya wrong, it makes you want to shout, throw things, or even just lock yourself up in your room. You’re a human being, not a saint. The trick is, don’t let that anger control you. You gotta control it. It’s like holding onto a rope that’s pulling you in a bad direction. You can’t stop the rope from pulling, but you can let go of it.
Next up, don’t you ever forget: You are worth more than that hurt. You’re not some ragdoll to be tossed around when it’s convenient for someone else. You deserve respect, you deserve love, and you sure as heck deserve peace of mind. So, let that anger out, deal with it, and move on. I know it ain’t easy, but it’s worth it. Every time you let go of that bitterness, you’re giving yourself a little bit of freedom back. And you deserve freedom, sugar. Don’t you ever forget that.
And, sugar, let’s get real. There’s always gonna be people who don’t treat you right. There’s always gonna be someone who’ll break your heart or leave you angry. But what matters is what you do with it. You can choose to stay mad forever, or you can take that anger, learn from it, and use it to make yourself stronger. It’s all in your hands.
Now, here’s one last thing I want you to know: You don’t need no one to make you feel whole again. You’re already whole, sugar. You don’t need no man or woman to fix you, ’cause you’ve got everything you need right inside of you. It just takes a little time, a little patience, and a whole lotta self-love to remember that.
So take a deep breath, let that anger out, and move on. You’ve got better things ahead, and you deserve to see ’em. You really do. So, don’t hang onto that old baggage — it’s just weighing you down. Let it go, and make space for something better. The world’s big, and you’re just getting started.
