Control issues

Today's Aries horoscope: "Your actions will have major consequences right now, so try not to be too dominant." That's it, the one sentence. Makes me laugh really. In some ways, I suppose I'm a pretty controlling person. People have told I have an aggressive personality, but objectively, what I can attest to is that I have a loud voice, a cruel streak and a penchant for saying nasty things about people's looks (if I don't know them well) or people's spelling (if I do). I tend to bully the people I don't like into submission, often just by being downright stubborn. Yes, I'm a bit of a hard one. However, in some other areas of my life, I feel like I have absolutely no influence. School is the prime example of that. I feel like I'm careering all over the place. My emotions are another; lately, I've been getting really annoyed at myself for being so silly and letting my emotions take free rein over my life. I think when you're hurt so much and so often, you're left with scars. They're invisible, but they're there, and once in a while, a chip of glass or a speck of sand irritates them, and you're off. You turn into a bumbling, incoherent, insecure idiot who is hurt by the tiniest provocations. I'm going to work hard on ameliorating that. Can't have my feelings mucking up my life, especially now with so much work to do.

Final thought: Emotions are the slave, I am the master. Or the mistress, as the case may be.
