Was going through some semi-justified teenage angst stuff back in the day and my laptop was having some small issue, so I smashed my laptop.
I'm not normally prone to anger - then or now, so that was particularly out of character for me. I also wasn't able to replace it for a long while, since I wasn't like, rich or anything like that.
Honestly though, I've never regretted it. Given the circumstances (tl;dr: poor upbringing, loneliness), I can totally see why someone would lash out like that eventually.
I mean, you could regret it, but also offer yourself understanding and forgiveness
That's a fair point, honestly.
it sounds like that laptop had it coming, for the sheer neglect and poor upbringing it inflicted
