Un-Friending Some Anger

I’ve noticed I’m getting over things a particular narcissist does and people in general with godspeed lately. Shocked myself. Who dis? (Who is this? Who am I?)

Seriously, I’m like “why am I not still mad?” I’m amazed when it happens. It’s not that I hold onto things forever and it’s not that my anger doesn’t linger at times. It’s that I SEE GROWTH in this area. I don’t want to stay upset and I don’t have the space for it with so much that has been going on. I think this is the beginning stage of aging where one day some younger will look at me bewildered and ask, “Doesn’t that make you angry?” And I can say convincingly as I have heard it said to me, “No. Things like that don’t upset me anymore. I have lived longer enough not to care.”
