It is Beautiful to Feel

e·mo·tion

/əˈmōSH(ə)n/

noun

a natural instinctive state of mind deriving from one's circumstances, mood, or relationships with others."she was attempting to control her emotions"

There are times where emotions are too strong. It feels as though this should be forbidden. The longing for the pain to end and the yearning for happiness to appear. You must remember that feelings are temporary.

Even though there is beauty in forgetting sadness, there is also beauty in experiencing it.

It is beautiful to feel. Beautiful to feel the wretchedness of crying your heart out over someone you miss. Beautiful to feel the intense smiling and the butterflies in the stomach when you are excited.

It is beautiful to feel because you know you are alive. Cry and scream as loud as you can. Smile until your cheeks start hurting. It's agony, yes, but it is also living. You know that these feelings make you human, whether that's anger, annoyance or excitement, you can physically feel them. Your body tells you that you are here, you are alive and okay.

Next time that you are sad or happy, sit with it. Because even though these feelings are temporary, it's better to feel everything than nothing at all. Don't numb yourself to a point where you cannot tell if you are real or not. That's no way of living.

Thrive in the mess. Paint with the emotions you expel. From emotions comes expression. And expression is what makes you, you.

We love you <3

Sincerely,
