We as human beings are defined by our behavior but mostly this behavior is a fruit of our feelings and emotions, and the more we keep them locked inside of us, the more we’re feeding the balloon until, one day, it will explode.
You should not be afraid or ashamed to talk about it no matter how small you think the feeling is, nor afraid to say what’s on your mind or in your heart clearly as it is, even if you think that all you’re going to say is not that important to express.
Just let it out, find someone who you feel comfortable with, someone who understands you even if he gives you no feedback at all but just throw what’s inside out of your system, this requires a lot of courage and is never a simple task but it is really essential! It gets easier with time, just take a leap of faith and it will help guide you towards people who’ve been in your shoes and who will help you overcome these troubles and experiences.
Our feelings are not just pesky inconveniences.
If we don’t allow ourselves to fully experience our feelings, worries, fears, or pain, it’s like a huge fist going inside us and suffocating our life energy. Our light gets snuffed out, our force vanishes more quickly than usual since we’re trying so hard to stuff the things we don’t want to see and lock them in a room somewhere far, far away. We keep the door shut, lock it tight, and guard it incessantly. That takes a ton of effort.
We got to be real with ourselves and face everything we are feeling inside, no matter how hard, scary or overwhelming it seems. It often takes less energy and time to reveal our true emotions than it does to keep avoiding them. They are not just pesky inconveniences.
Our emotions are trying to communicate with us, they are trying to tell us something, and so we just need to give them more attention and listen to what they have to say.
So let it all out, scream, cry and shout out, there’s nothing wrong with that! You’re a human being and we humans are very frail and fragile creatures, accept these simple limitations and you shall break free from anything that limits you!
