Your Feelings Are Your Tools To Living

Dealing with our emotions is the biggest daily challenge we face. While we're quick to share our joy, when we experience sadness, frustration, or loneliness, we often feel pressured to bury those emotions and pretend to be "normal". But who defines what's "normal" anyway? It's like society expects us to be emotionless robots, just smiling and nodding through life.

But here's the truth: embracing all our emotions is normal. They're like signposts on our journey, guiding us to understand ourselves better. We can't truly appreciate joy without experiencing sadness or anger.

Many of us fear pain, so we shut down our emotions to avoid it. But avoiding pain only leads to depression. We have to face our emotions head-on, just like we did when we were kids learning to walk. We fell, it hurt, but we kept going.

It's okay to feel it all - the sadness, anger, jealousy. Our feelings define who we are and guide us through life's ups and downs. And it's crucial to embrace both the light and dark emotions, finding balance in our emotional landscape.

​So let's not shy away from our feelings, sis. They're our guides through life. Embracing them, even the tough ones, leads to growth and self-discovery. And through it all, we learn to love ourselves more deeply, realizing the immense value of our emotional toolkit. ■
