GEEK THERAPY: One of the most important lines in a movie thelped me understand who I am inside and how to control the dark times. The Avengers: spoken by Bruce Banner. Want to know my secret? ...Im always angry. For those who grew up with abuse, bullying, depression, loss, etc. The emotion of anger shows up when we least expect it and usually when we dont want it to surface. We hide a monster inside of us. We hide it, embarrassed by it. We try our hardest to push it down and the outcome is usually an untimely eruption of emotion. I too have struggled with this for years. Oddly enough, seeing this scene brought me the answer I needed to understand not only the problem, but how to control it. Understanding that there is a monster inside for a reason. Whether its their fighting demons, the past, memories, bullies, whatever. Its there for a reason. Unfortunately it doesnt go away for us. So this is the alternative. When you learn to accept that it truly IS there all the time, you learn to control it to use when you need it. We are not monsters, we are protecting ourselves from the hurt we have recieved. Its who we are, weve just forgotten that we can adapt and use it to help ourselves instead of hurting others.
