Keep in touch with your feelings.

Feeling Friday

This has been a weird and sad week for many reasons. I am into my feelings at the moment. Life is what it is and we just have to endure what is happening in the moment. Dealing with stuff hopefully will provide room for happier times down the road. To those who are suffering you are never alone.

Stuffing Stuff In A Box

I don’t always deal with stuff I am going through when it is happening. Stuffing stuff in a box is typically what I do. Feeling your feels is hard and there will come a time when you have to deal with it all. Many of us just want to move on to the next thing before doing the work of reconciling with the people and things at the moment we are in. Of course, there are people like me who don’t take the time to resolve and reconcile. There are times when life makes you open those boxes and you have to deal with the stuff you find in them. So, the best way to move forward is to stop stuffing and start dealing. It’s a good thing for everyone to do.

Feeling All The Things

In the past few years, I have not been myself or the person I was in 2018. That was five years ago and much has happened since that time. I got older, lost my dad in 2019 (that took a lot out of me) then COVID happened and of course, the political shit we seem to endure daily. During that time I have been moody and frankly not a lot of fun to be around.

The one thing I can say is that I can only be myself and the person I am at that moment. Pleasing people is a hard habit to break and I still find myself being a slave to that.

I feel as if I am giving off an aura I think that repels some people. I am hoping that gets better as I go along. Being real means being authentic whatever that looks like. People should have the freedom to feel all their emotions and hope that others will be there to help pick up the pieces.

To The Dudes, Feel Your Feels #MentalHealth

My friends it’s very human to be emotional. I hope you will be free to show that emotion. To the dudes out there I encourage you to be vulnerable and allow yourself to visit with things that make you feel whatever you need to feel. It’s more than OK my dudes to feel emotion.

Too many of us push stuff down and that includes me. During this holiday season let your guard down and do what you need to do in order to have a balanced life that includes emotions and expressions of such. Love and peace to you all.

Mental health matters for everyone especially for men.
