S0 moving along...
I been thinking a lot lately... Really taking a good look at myself... And others... And just basically asking myself questions... And the one that really stood out to me was...
What is wrong with having feelings?
What is so wrong with liking? Loving? Being hurt? Being scared?
I never realized until today that I saw having feelings as being weak... But to actually feel and live with those feelings... You have to be strong... Strong enough to accept them... To live with them... To express them... And deal with what comes with them...
As we all know... You can't control your feelings... There's no way to put them in check... No way to deny them... We can push them to the back of our minds... But eventually they surface in a way that is usually negative... And it all could have been avoided if you had just accepted them to begin with...
That was and has always been my way to cope with them... To act if they weren't there... And I would fight them tooth and nail just to be perceived as strong... As invincible... But in reality... I was weak... Weak in the fact that I would rather lie about what was going on inside of my head... And act as if everything was all good... I mean for a while... You can pretend it all doesn't exist... But then... No matter how hard you try... What you feel is what you feel? No if, ands, or but's...
It's funny that it's taken me almost 7 years and 4 somewhat special people to get to that brilliant conclusion... But it's hard when you have people around you faulting you for going with what you feel... Making side comments about you... Laughing about you... You just want to act as if nothings there... And pick on the people who have enough strength to acknowledge what they're feeling...
And to all those people I've done that to... I'm sorry... Your feelings... Are your feelings... And who the hell am I to judge?
All of this I realized last weekend... When once again... I lost control... And I finally got what I was supposed to learn...
Liking... Loving... Being hurt... Being scared...
All legitimate feelings...
There's nothing wrong with feeling... Nothing at all...
