Anger (Frustration)

You wanted something. You made an effort, invested energy, hoped — and then the result did not come the way you had imagined. A conversation that went differently. An email that went unanswered. A plan that fell through. A person who did not behave the way they should have. A traffic jam, a missed train, a detail that did not work. And suddenly there is that tug inside you — a quiet, stubborn discontent that settles in the jaw, in the stomach, in the forehead.
