To react or not to react Someone asked me about how to know when to show anger or hide it…. The first time I understood the importance of knowing when to react when angry was in secondary school. There was this very short boy. He was a terror in our form class. He was very aggressive, and everyone was scared of him. I had just moved to the UK, so he thought I was fresh meat. For weeks, he was subtly bullying me, and I was letting him. I was hiding my irritation and anger. I kept ignoring him but one day (I saw red- ti ile mama mi jeun lori mi), I just turned on him as he was doing his stupidness again, like, ‘are you mad?’, I pushed him… My guy fell! Come see shocked faces! He got up and wanted to fight but I didn’t back down. The teacher that had been ignoring us finally took interest- she pulled us apart and sent us to the deputy headteacher’s office! It was totally the right reaction! Because of that one little moment of madness- till I left that secondary...
My random thoughts, musings, observations etc... just random stuff, my brain never stops so I thought might as well share some of the stuff floating around there...
