A Cute Attempt At Getting Even

I grew up very angry, and had difficulty understanding where those feelings came from. 

Some instances were easier to decipher than others; parental abandonment factored into my life heavily, and gave the people around me an easy button to push. 

Other moments were subtler, and took a tremendous amount of searching to find the root cause. 

The piece is called How I Learned To Smile and it really is about the process of understanding where my anger  came from.
