“Anger: My Ex-Best Friend and the Life Lessons It Taught Me”


Anger and I had a complicated relationship. It used to be my favourite emotion, always ready to fight my battles. But over time, anger decided to leave me. Why? Because I had become its closest companion, and even anger needed a break.

Happiness? Never my favorite, but it stuck around. Life’s irony: the things you love don’t always stay, and the ones you resist end up walking beside you. So, I made peace with this truth—acceptance is key.

But then I reprogrammed my brain. If I do get angry, I give it a strict timeline. “Wrap it up; we’re heading back to happiness.” Sounds boring, right? Nope—it’s a health investment. Stress is expensive, and my migraine was a loud, painful mentor that taught me this lesson.

Now, my rule is simple: I only get angry as long as I can handle it. The moment it gets overwhelming, I shut up and go silent. Why? Because my peace is priceless, and anger, if unchecked, is just a thief of joy.

The message: Be angry, but don’t let it own you. Let happiness sneak in—it’s quieter but far more reliable. Also, migraines? Surprisingly good life coaches—just painful ones!
