15 thoughts I had while getting a massage recently

I knew I was going to have a tough day over the past weekend, so I indulged and booked myself a massage for the following day. However, as you'll see from reading, it was not the best experience. I am fully aware that complaining about a massage is a whiny thing to do, but I wanted to get the thoughts that were swirling through my head onto a (digital) page.

  1. I am too in my head
  2. My inner legs are more sensitive than I thought
  3. I might be a tad touch-starved (touch-hungry?)
  4. My body kind of recoils from touch though
  5. I did not know that muscle could flinch like that (or even that that was a muscle)
  6. While I do mostly want quiet during a massage, I was a little perturbed that she worked on my chest (over the blanket) without giving me a heads up (I have never had a masseuse touch there before)
  7. I thought the masseuse said this oil was "lemon grass," but I did have my headphones in when she was listing the possible scents and I think it was just "lemon"
  8. Does the masseuse want me to praise her more? She has asked a few times now if the pressure is good and when I say it is, she says, "Thank you" (perhaps I have not had enough massages to know the proper etiquette)
  9. I wish this massage table was wider
  10. What is she spraying on my feet? All she said was it would be a bit cold
  11. I wonder if there's a way to pick what audio plays during a massage (maybe I'd be more out of my head if I could listen to an audiobook or something)
  12. Is there such a thing as massage tables with adjustable heights? It'd be so much easier to get on and off if I didn't have to like climb up or hop down
  13. I think I might've just preferred asking someone I know to scratch my head for a while
  14. Well, this robe they're handing me sure doesn't seem like "one size fits all"
  15. I don't think that was an hour... (it was actually 45 minutes)

(Prompt by me)

I'm angry

I'm angry. And I don't (at the moment) want to be talked out of it. I struggle, often, with expressing or even just sitting with my emotions. I feel like even the photo I chose for this post was more reserved or toned down than how I feel.  But, this is my trying. I'm not going to time this post, just going to write until I feel done, whenever that may be. In this post, I'm going to focus on the anger I feel around my dad and my dad's death. Though, don't get me wrong, I'm also angry about a lot of things going on in my city, in my country, and in the world. My dad chose alcohol over me and my brother. There is no way around this fact. Yes, when I am less angry, I can be more reasonabl and recognize that addiction is a disesase and he didn't have control over it. But, right now, I want to be angry. I want to get to be angry. I want to get to feel my feelings. I don't want to rationalize, I don't want to be reasonable, I don't want to be fair....
