Feelings

#MyLifeBeing

Do you always know how you feel right away?

Lately I have been paying extra attention to how I feel and even with the extra attention, it still takes me a while with some situations to explain how I feel.

When I am confronted with certain situations, I respond but I usually blame my response because at the spur of the moment I respond with confusion. I usually give the right response but with a vague emotion.

With so many emotions we feel at the same time, I always try to figure out which one is dominant. I want to know exactly how I feel and too often I discover the feeling after the situation. When I evaluate the matter I then understand the emotion and translate it to a feeling.

We are taught about a few feelings growing up, which then limits your emotions to a few. So when you are faced with a situation you also limit your emotions to few. You either translate it to sad or happy. And these are the most popular. So everytime you feel, you choose a popular feeling to translate your momentarily emotion.

You then limit your being to few because you are too lazy to go in depth and understand the exact feeling that you feel. With self discovery I have now learnt that I feel a lot and sometimes what I feel is beyond happy or sad. So I dissect an encounter to understand how I feel. Because I don't want to give a wrong impression. I want to give an honest response.

I think all of this just mounts to understanding. And not limited to understanding the situation but also understanding who you are. In that way you won't give clumsy response but you will give very honest response with the right emotion.

Feelings are a very huge part of our lives, they hold great powers to defining being because they are so honest and secret. So when you understand them, you know your truth.

I just think that we are too afraid to confront our feelings that we would rather limit them to most popular so that we get the situation out of the way even if it's not completely handled. We are just being dishonest with our feelings which then means we are dishonest with ourselves.

And this makes us fake because we give popular but not honest. We respond with what we think the question wants not what it needs. It's a very dangerous way of living because it hurts you more than the situation. 

So I think always understand to give the right and honest response or emotion.

Love you tons.
