True Feelings

When we bury our feelings and pretend nothing is wrong, we will discover that nothing seems right. In the past I felt as if I couldn’t have genuine feelings. Whenever I felt something that I didn’t believe fit with my religious believes, I would immediately try to get over it or buy it. I’ve since learned that feelings are part of what it means to be human. I can have a feeling and choose not to act on it, or I can try to suppress it which only seems to make it stronger. I choose to acknowledge my feelings. Some I act on if I can do so and still remain true to who I am and how I want to be. Others I’ve learned to explore and release.
