I've learned that football sometimes was an outlet. It was a way for me to release anger, release frustration.
Everyone can relate to love, hurt, pain, learning how to forgive, needing to get over, needing the power of God in their life.
When we think we have been hurt by someone in the past, we build up defenses to protect ourselves from being hurt in the future. So the fearful past causes a fearful future and the past and future become one. We cannot love when we feel fear.... When we release the fearful past and forgive everyone, we will experience total love and oneness with all.
Anger is nothing more than an outward expression of hurt, fear and frustration
Music - not just the lyrics, but the music itself - expresses confused or illicit passions: rage, lust, envy, frustration, channeling these energies and creating an outlet for them.
I think basketball becomes an outlet for it, an opportunity to get that frustration out and forget about all the problems and things you have going on in your life outside.
I was very sensitive, so when sensitivity has no place to go, it's often turned into anger or frustration.
The stupid thing about anger is how people hurt you and then you let them keep hurting you by being angry about how they originally hurt you. It’s a vicious cycle.
I'm not really sure why. But... do you stop loving someone just because they betray you? I don't think so. That's what makes the betrayal hurt so much - pain, frustration, anger... and I still loved her. I still do.
From my anger, frustration, and hurt, I wrote the short story that would later become 'The Hate U Give.'
Yeah, to me, acting is very therapeutic. I get out a lot of anger and frustration.
Pain in the present is experienced as hurt. Pain in the past is remembered as anger. Pain in the future is perceived as anxiety. Unexpressed anger, redirected against yourself and held within, is called guilt. The depletion of energy that occurs when anger is redirected inward creates depression.
I got into writing music when I was, like, 14 or 15. It was a very private thing for me because I used it as an outlet and emotional release. I kept it very close to myself and didn't tell too many people about it.
To me, acting is very therapeutic. I get out a lot of anger and frustration. It's maybe hard to believe, but as a kid I really had a lot of self-doubts. My father was very ill - he was an alcoholic - so there were a lot of things that built up for me. And because I was going to a Catholic school in a small German town, a lot of it was suppressed. I was angry and didn't know how to get it out.
I was being very bad because I didn't know how to express myself. Music gave me an outlet to express myself and channel that anger.
When I was a kid growing up in the '60s, music was an outlet for enlightenment, frustration, rebellion. It was more about individualism. Today it's just like a big business.
