Feelings.
so I guess we all have them, or we're supposed to.
I find it difficult to have feelings. I don't like to admit to having them in many circumstances. I don't like their consequences, in many circumstances.
Is there such a thing as healthy numbing of one's feelings. I'm thinking of the distracting things that I do. like my craft projects which are soothing, but not really addressing the problem.
vs.
journalling about source, experience, and consequence of having some feeling or emotion, which seems to actually make a difference.
Is it wrong to neglect the latter for the former. Do I have to be in a "strong place to do the latter" I guess it just needs to become a habit.
I guess I'll get out my journal now. it is from Target. got it in the kids section. hello kitty with stickers for emotions. excited. grumpy. sad. flirty. frustrated. you get the picture.
Now back to that journal. if I know it might make me feel better why do I avoid it.
And I know the answer to that question.
it has to do with FEELINGS.
ugh
