Flying off the Handle

I tend to overreact. Big time. I wish that I didn't. When I'm done flipping out (and, I do mean flipping out), I often feel as if I am waking up after getting drunk and doing something very stupid -- guilty and ashamed over how I acted.

I'm turning 30 on Sunday and in this next decade, I would prefer to not do this. Oprah once said (and, I am paraphrasing) that when you react to small things in a big way, it is because in that moment, you feel small. I think I feel small a lot. If we are all G-d's children, how can this be so?
