Question of the Day.

It's been months since I've completed one of these, but I feel like nothing I have to say is worth listening to at the moment.

Question: "A sign of maturity is being able to control your emotions." Explain and tell if you control your emotions. Which emotions sometimes control you?

Hahahaha. Funny. Because again, this is all about feelings.

Well. I think in the last couple of months I've been learning how to control my emotions better. I've always been a very emotionally charged person, and sometimes, that gets the best of me. But I've been working on it lately. Especially because I WANT to be happy. Who doesn't? I control my emotions best when I'm with friends and family. Especially when I'm with my family. I don't need to hide myself from them. It's okay for me to feel sad around them, but it's also okay for me to feel happy as well. But it's about preventing from going from extreme to extreme.

When I'm by myself: I have a very difficult time controlling my emotions. Like I said earlier, I'm a very emotionally charged person, and it's proven difficult in art class, and in my personal life. When I'm depressed, it's the deepest darkest depression, and I don't want to move. When I'm happy, it's hysterics, and I laugh. I had a hysterical moment in orchestra. I had been frustrated earlier that morning, and when I got to orchestra, someone said something, and I began to laugh but couldn't stop. I left class, started bawling, gained control, and went back into class. That was a new all time low for me, and I never want to have that happen again.

Although that's been happening a lot lately, I've been finding it's good for me to get it out. Like Saturday Night. I passed this place that was filled with scary memories, I became overwhelmed, and screamed, and yelled and cried the entire way home. I was driving, so it was even scarier, because I don't want something like emotion be the reason I hurt myself, or someone else while I'm behind 2 tons of metal.

In either case, it's a work in progress, and I'm proud of my accomplishments.
