E34 Feel the emotions...even if it hurts
Description
I had an emotional week. I went to two weddings and watched a sad movie, all of which made me cry. A LOT! But it was good for me to feel those emotions. It's good for us to allow ourselves to feel and experience life's ups and downs and not shove those feelings down and act as if they don't exist. Having feelings and emotions makes us human. Showing them makes us vulnerable. So, allowing yourself to feel and show emotion is part of being human and it is how you will connect with other humans. Let's stop shoving it all down and telling ourselves we don't have time or we are fine or we don't want to ruin our mascara. Let yourself feel them and show them. Someone may really connect with you in your sadness. Someone may connect with you in your joy. Someone may connect with you in your anger. Life is about connection with others and that connection, a lot of times, comes from the vulnerability of feeling and showing emotions.
