Emotions

Emotions are a funny thing

Some people are so open about them and some are not.

I am personally someone who is not open about them and get defensive when anyone tries to break my shell.

I tell myself…..

No one cares what I think

The world isn’t about me

And

That emotions are bad

I’ve been told my whole life that emotions were wrong to feel and to suck it up when I felt bad.

Lately I’ve had friends in my life who have shown me that having emotions isn’t a bad thing.

They encourage me to share my feelings and comfort me in times of need.

This was weird.

I’ve never felt this comfort feeling before

BUT!

Then I realized that God designed us to share our feelings and to be surrounded by community

Even though I feel like theses walls won’t break down sometimes, God is taking a chisel and breaking them down piece by piece.
