I had an amazing moment at work lastnight. I was taking boxes out and I told a coworker I had a sudden urge to just punch one of the boxes hard to open it. She said "Go ahead!"

In my politically correct paranoia, I asked "Really?"

"Sure! If you feel like punching the box, punch the box!"

So I hauled back and whacked that box open with all my might, and boy did that feel good!

"Feel better?" she asked me.

Did it ever! I have been trying so hard to be polite and passive and understanding all my life. Holding in my anger and trying to be patient all the time. This one little blow on the box felt so good.

I thank my coworker and the box for that wonderful moment of release I felt last night. Big difference in my moods today.
