Valeria Itriago reads Day 3 of a 31-day series about winter in New York. She felt frustration building in her chest and throat on the way to an event, then reframed it as fuel. Instead of pushing the feeling away, she treated it like gasoline that could become excitement.

Dear frustration, crushing this pundit, ranting in my chest. Dear friend, you're so powerful because I can feel you. And today was a very frustrating day. Day 3 of 31 days of sharing without editing winter and my life in New York City, facing one of the senses I hate the most because it completely compress and decompress me. And as I'm walking to an incredible event hosted by Stavs Dorr and meeting like new creators, I can reflect back on my frustration today as this sensation that holds so much tension in my chest and my throat and my head just gets so, so full of it. But once I'm able to use it as a gasoline transform into excitement and opportunity. Yep, frustration, it's also great, and it's okay to feel it.
