I have to feel
I am sad, and I must be sad. Undone, and I must be undone. Life is not going well. Not now. But it will again, one day, maybe soon. I know, though, that I cannot bargain my true feelings away. No, today isn't a day for finding silver linings. That is for smaller problems, inconsequential things. In the essentials, I must feel the truth, whatever it may be, or I will never learn the lessons I must learn. That is the nature of the world. So today, I am sad.
@gentleEast8898 you're right; it's important not to ignore our feelings. I'm so glad for your optimism-- realizing that today may be a sad day, but life will get better. I wish all the best for you! The listeners on 7 cups are here to listen as you go through this.
@KindnessAndComfort Thank you so much for your kind words. There is wisdom in remembering that we are never alone. All my very best to you.
@gentleEast8898 hey, how are you doing now? :)
@KindnessAndComfort There have been some very crazy, crazy days (like yesterday) and they can get the better of me at first but once I sit with my feelings for awhile, I find many lessons to be thankful for and feel that I am (slowwwwly) getting stronger. How are you?
