  • Quiet Quibble

    What do you complain about the most?

    By Tracy Schruder

    “I rarely complain about anything, not in an audible manner, anyway. I do, however, experience a quiet quibble that echoes through the hollow halls of my malformed, fragile ego.

    For the most part, I can overcome the dark, drab whining and fit-fighting that goes on within the walls of the rooms that house various levels and forms of my ego-self.

    However, every now and then, something just gets my goat. Once that grumpy bastard arises, it’s an all-out bitch feast. Typically about politics or something I perceive as wrong or unjust – an abuse of power, the lack of accountability, or anything I see on the news usually lights the fuse.

    I don’t waste other people’s time with complaining if I can avoid it.

    It mostly stems from domestication. I was domesticated into a society that has a victim mentality.

    I’m breaking free with each step by not vocalizing my grievances, but there’s still work to do with my internal dialogue.”
