I've always felt conflicted by my emotions; I don't know that I've figured out how to manage them or that I ever will, all I've been able to do is just let myself feel whatever I'm feeling in the moment, and act based on what is decent or appropriate at the time. So that's feeling jealous, but never letting it make me bitter, or getting angry but not crashing out (in front of people). My biggest
struggle is with unexpressed emotions and how they make me feel inside. I can't really explain it, but it's like my insides turn into wet sand - just gritty, uncomfortable and like I'm falling apart.
I don't know where the struggle ends, but I hope I get better at navigating, and that I have people that don't judge, but love me simply by understanding and validating the messy feelings I carry with me.
Humans evolved their emotions more rapidly than their actions. That is why anger has persisted with us from primitive times to the present day. Nice work. Thank you for writing and sharing.
This is so relatable that it makes me think ‘I’m not unusual after all’
This is lovely.
