    Holding on to anger is no way to go through life. You gotta find a way to let that shit go or it will eat you alive over time.

      I’d say it’s the opposite even, trying to “let it go” as in ignore and not process anger is itself a recipe for it eating you alive over time. Anger needs a voice.

            Expressing that anger is one way to deal with it, sure. Ideally, you aim for some form of expression that does as little damage as possible.

            Fundamentally, long-term anger is just your brain telling your brain to stay angry. It’s thought patterns in your psyche. You can just let it go. Change your thought patterns. That’s a different way to deal to with anger. I’m not saying it’s always easy, but It’s an option available to all of us.
