We spend so much of our life suppressing feelings. We shame them and end up numbing ourselves.
By pushing these emotions away we miss out on so many beautiful things in life. There is no emotion we experience that is wrong. We all need to learn to accept them, love them, and show compassion.
There are so many times we give empathy to others, yet we don’t give ourselves empathy. Especially men.
Men are taught to have two feelings: anger and joy. It’s a real disservice to not embrace all of the emotions.
