I’ve been kinda hard on myself lately.
However, tonight I sat outside under the stars,
it was a bit on the chilly side,
but yet there I was.
Present.
I was thinking that I just feel things.
I am always feeling an emotion (or two, three, four etc.)
and it is usually quite strong.
And, the emotions I feel are coming from within
and also from my environment
and they are strong and robust.
I am happy that I feel things,
beautiful things,
while others are quite difficult,
at least I am still feeling things.
That’s who I am.
That is what I am about.
So maybe I should be less hard on myself.
I don’t think it’s a easy task to just let go of yourself . This fear and pain long hidden don’t seem to be settling

Harlon, you’ve written great post lately, they could help more people if you would reblog. It takes seconds to do. I wrote a post recently on how I got out of crazy WP trap. You want to help people, let’s help more.
Thanks.
Hugs

I also “feel things,” Harlon. Feelings endow us with empathy and compassion – much needed qualities when the advancing storm clouds on the horizon drench our lives with chaos and despair.

Nice lines. In my opinion, there is no shame in feeling a little too much, it helps us relate to other’s pains and sorrows more deeply. I would rather prefer to be called a sensitive human than an unemotional mechanical robot.

Emotions and thoughts are what one is not actually separate from (when they occur). There can be an intelligent depth beyond those two.

The storm always passes, and it washes a lot of the debris away and the sky is clear again π
