frustration – Page 2 – The Diary of The Deranged Writer

10-Minute Warning CXCIV

What I truly dislike is when people tell me not to cry.

I’m quite aware that not every problem can be fixed, and everyone makes mistakes. But whether that problem can be fixed, or I end up crying over spilled milk, I should be allowed to shed tears. I learned a long time ago that I can’t just bottle up my sorrow and anger, and I need to express myself (not in a destructive way, of course) to feel catharsis, to feel better. To certain people, why am I not allowed to cry?

If I’m not allowed to cry in a place that I thought to be safe, fuck that shit. Maybe I should look for a safer space elsewhere. And if I can’t find another safe space, it’s a good thing I have The Diary.

One more day before my birthday.

XL: Watch VII: Dave Grohl’s FRESH POTS Video (and How It Echoed Through The Deranged Writer’s Caffeine-Fueled Life Story)

As part of 14 Days of The Deranged Writer (2025), and since drinking UCC Class One coffee is a part of my morning ritual nowadays, I’d like to talk about a legendary YouTube video that has stuck with me since 2010. It’s a video so memorably epic that I always remember it when I drink black coffee (or any caffeinated drink, for that matter).

I’m talking about the video titled “Dave Grohl in FRESH POTS!”

This post is a part of 14 Days of The Deranged Writer (2024).

So, what I can share here in under 10 minutes?

Well, yesterday I shared that I’m sad and frustrated and I don’t want to explain that further. Today, after focusing on billings and proposals, I feel better somehow. Keyword: somehow. And I still don’t want to talk about the causes of my recent sadness and frustration. Maybe I will change my mind tomorrow. Or maybe not. Whatever.

2 days before my birthday, man, and I hope to turn things around.

That’s all I can share for today.
