ON EXPRESSING EMOTIONS

I’ve realized that feelings of anger and negativity is okay. People on paths of positivity and spirituality condemn anger and most likely talk about how wrong anger is. Most times I feel my mood should always be radiant 25/8. But most of the time I’m angry and irritated (which is almost normal since I have a very short temper), and being around people that try to make me feel better makes me more irritated and then I realize I do not want to be around happy and positive people because my present feelings are not being validated by them. Trying to calm me down might only make things worse because it gives me this feeling that my emotions/feelings aren’t worth expressing. So sometimes I don’t feel good till I verbally express my anger, and bam I feel better afterwards. I’ve learnt to not be ashamed of my feelings or how they’re expressed. Humans experience the full range of emotions and not a single being is perfect. So these days, I let myself scream, cuss at my problems, punch a pillow and all.

In essence, feel free to express your emotions, punch a pillow, a wall, scream; but think before you speak so you don’t end up hurting the people around. Give yourself the freedom of feeling but don’t regret the actions you take in or while doing so.
