I've learned that everyone needs to talk and vent and get their feelings out.
I'm someone that's bottled up their feelings.
Because of that, when something small goes wrong - that's what broke the camel's back.
Like if I have all these feelings bottled up and some stranger says one mean word to me - I'll explode.
Then people will say "Don't let that get to you!" but it's not THAT. THAT is what made all the other shit come crashing down.
I actually feel a lot better when I punch things.
I want a punching bag because of that.
It's not a fix all, but it really does make me feel better.
I'd never hit someone so I just punch walls or the ground or anything that won't break and/or break my knuckles xD
I see people say boys and men shouldn't cry or show weakness.
There was a magician in this show that when he'd do a good job, he'd tear and say it was for his dad because his dad died and he wanted to be great and do good for his dad.
People in the comments were mocking him because he always cried.
All I ever wanted to do was hug him.
He was cool and sweet and that's what I'd want in a man >8u
Cheap punching bag:
1) 50-lb bag of rice from asian grocery store
2) cheap pillow slipcovers (second-hand/thrift stores)
3) towing rope or other similar rope (hardware store, garage sale, etc)
4) lay a length of rope across the top of the bag of rice
5) pull the pillow covers (1 at a time, layering) over the bag of rice, and sew the middle closed over the bag and the rope
6) in good weather, throw long end of rope over a strong tree limb and hoist bag up
7) in crappy weather, you need someone better than I am to figure out what kind of ceiling beam attachment could support it
8) meanwhile, you can just prop it up and punch it straight
(Best part? With a sharpie pen you can draw on the pillow covers and have the punching bag resemble any number of punchable things. And when you get tired of that, or the fabric starts to thin, you just sew on another on top)
