Lately, I've been extremely more angry. Angry at dad, Bobby, CJ ... Even Nakoma.
Saturday, Nakoma wanted to to watch scary movies with me and we had fun. Her running behind me during the scary parts and me being the big brother that I am too reassure her that there odd nothing to worry about.
After the movie, she was on her way downstairs when she saw a sticker she put on her months ago that said, "being drug free is the key to success". She started say that being drug free isn't really the key to success. I tried to explain to her that drugs confuse and distract you more so than one needs.
She started to argue that I was wrong.
She started to argue that I was wrong.
Then I started to get upset because I know her ideals comes from dad. Dad himself doesn't do drugs now but her grew up in the age of sex, drugs and rock and roll. It kind of formed him into the person he is today. But he is kind if laxed on they idea of addicts and drugs, where as I have a stricter idea of drugs and what not.
It upset me that those ideals are being absorbed by Nakoma. Actually, it pissed me off.
But getting upset with her wasn't right. I was so upset that I stormed out, leaving her alone and not dissing to her the rest of the night.
The next day I felt horrible about being that crossed with her. I should have listened to what she had to say and worked with that. Not just label what I thought she was going to say as wrong but hear her out and give her my opinion.
That is the person I want to be. Ok want to be the good influence. To treat everyone I come across on a respectable adult level regardless of age or relation.
It is how I wanted to be after Michael found Mr, it is how I wanted to be when I was married to
Jasmine and how I want to treat my children.
I can't let this anger get the best of me. I have to ... calm down and deal with situations with assertiveness and not aggressiveness.
I need to be better ...
