A Bit of Randomness

Most people go through life dreading they'll have a traumatic experience. Freaks were born with their trauma. They've already passed their test in life. They're aristocrats. --Diane Arbus

Poll Question Twenty Four aka Small & Petty

I just can't seem to let anything go. From teeny, tiny petty to the pretty damn big, I hold on to resentments and anger for a looooong time.

This morning, some cranky woman called my cell and demanded to know why I called her. Which I didn't do. But she insisted. She wanted to know who I was, why I called and all sorts of other things. When I patiently explained (why I took that time, I dunno) that it wasn't me, my cell hadn't been used in awhile and that she must have misdialed her phone, she got really pissed off and hung up on me.

Which still has me cranky.

I'm harboring resentment for the guy who went the wrong way in the gas station line - cutting me off - and then flipped me off and yelled many obsenities when I honked my horn to let him know he was about to run into my car.

People who cut me off on the road can practically ruin a nice, calm drive.

Conversations and meetings are replayed endlessly while I attempt to figure out what I could have/should have said or done differently.

And I'm not even going to go into the relationship resentments. Oy.

But all of this holding on is doing me absolutely no good. In fact, it's most likely harming me. The only problem is, I have no idea how to let go of it. Advice such as, "just do it" or "don't think about it" really don't work. At least, not so far. Part of it may be the "obssessive thought" portion of my OCD. I just don't know.

The question is: How do you let things go and move on?
