Photo by @the_positiveway8 All of your feelings are valid and it's important to feel them all, even the hard ones. This is something it has taken me so long to learn. I spent so many years bottling up my feelings. Believe me, once you've tried to cram them down for long enough they will explode out at some point anyway. Even if you hate to cry, for example, you still have to let it out sometimes if you're really sad. But it's also really important to learn how to feel your feelings and let them out in healthy ways, not by turning to substances or lashing out at someone. For me personally it really helps to talk things through with my therapist and have her help me identify my emotions. And honestly I have learned so many ways to let my feelings out by searching on Pinterest. Let me know if you want me to make a follow-up post sometime of different ways you can let feelings out.

little drops of rain, masking a heart's disappointments and pain. And though life may be full of gloom, after the rain the sun will rise and the flowers will bloom! 🌻🌈 -Gee 2023
i feel like i’ve lost myself. that everything that made me who i was, has left. i feel like i’m this shy, insecure empty being who feels so disconnected with life. this emptiness has made me buy physical things to try and fill this hole, but i guess i didn’t realise the hole isn’t physical, it’s mental and spiritual. i don’t know who i am anymore and it’s heart breaking. i used to be filled with life and curiosity and now it’s been replaced with silence, and just despair. times like this i try to appreciate the little things, like the times i wake up feeling well slept or the new leaves that start to grow my garden. i know within time i will be okay. just like the moon we as humans go through phases, changes even.
