Resentment is an emotion of anger felt as a result of a real or imagined wrong done. Etymologically from "ressentir", French re-, intensive prefix, and sentir "to feel"; from the latin "sentire". The English word has become synonymous with anger and bitterness.
It can be an emotionally disturbing experience that is being felt again or relived in the mind. When the person feeling resentment is directing the emotion at himself it appears as remorse.

a message given to me from trey.. it was something to ponder about the whole weekend.
suddenly i was even more aware of everything that i do, how i do it, how i say it, and more importantly, how i feel about it.
its a message from my past too. a past that still haunts me every once in a while.

another message from trey
What gives life its juice is the ability to mourn anything fully and simultaneously know it doesn't ultimately matter. In other words, we can live to the fullest when we recognize that our suffering is based not on the fact of impermanence but rather on our reaction to that impermanence.

its been apart of my life for a long time now.. its a feeling i have for almost everything that happens in my life, especially when things don't turn out the way i like it to have..
i thought i have already overcome this issue. resolved within myself.
what am i not giving closure to?
am i too cool or too emotionless now that i forgot what its like to feel resentment or remorse? or to even get angry and blow it out sometimes?
i know i rarely show my true emotions already, and i constantly enforce self-control, especially when it comes to my emotions. i know that being a short tempered person, i can just blow out anytime ie in the middle of a meeting, just scream 'fuck you' to my clients or something.
being such a passion and emotion driven person, it took me a long time to practice this self control. so has it been so well practised that i no longer show how i truly feel? or that everything i feel now is just resentment that i cannot show my true feelings?
can i learn to forgive myself for conforming to what the needs of others and let go of this resentment?
can i truly be happy with the little contentments that i have in life?
can i enjoy the simple joys in life vs the complexity of being a drama-mama?
is it so hard to just be li-ann...?
