I’m sure that every situation, every problem has its own solution. I wish we were born with a manual, explaining how we should get through our hard times. But reality is that there is no manual. There will never be a manual. So we’ll have to figure things out, probably on our own.
I’m a perfect example of someone who doesn’t know how to deal with the hard parts of life. Instead of dealing with it, I like to hide it and put it away in a box, close it and pretend it doesn’t exist. Doing that makes me sad or even depressed at random moments. I’ve had a couple of rough days last week. I had to pause something I was watching because my eyes started tearing. Out of nowhere and I couldn’t figure out why I was so sad all of the sudden. I was watching something funny. I was sad for a few days, crying at random moments, not being able to smile,… So I decided to find out what it is. To be honest, I don’t have a clue to why I feel like this. But like I talked about 2 weeks ago, ‘I don’t know’ is a nice excuse for us so we don’t have to go after the real reason behind our emotions. When I allow myself to feel, my ‘I don’t know’ turns into a ‘Maybe it’s because of…’. In this case, I think my emotions might be caused by everything that has happened over the past few weeks. Months even. I didn’t work on dealing with the situations and I certainly didn’t try to deal with my emotions. I told myself to suck it up. Not the best strategy. Especially not in the long run. It, being your emotions, will start to eat at you until you really deal with it. Dealing with your emotions in particular is hard. It means that you have to face your fears. Accept your flaws and it means that you can’t make up excuses for it anymore. It’s difficult and most of all scary. But you have to if you want to come out stronger. Not dealing with things will only make you feel helpless, maybe not right away but eventually you’ll have so much weight on your shoulders that you don’t know how to get up in the morning, let alone keep your back straight. Dealing with emotions is difficult. It was difficult yesterday and it will be difficult tomorrow. That doesn’t mean that you should give up. You deserve to deal with your emotions. You deserve that. You owe it to yourself to deal with your emotions so you can grow. How do you deal with your emotions? Do you have a hard time dealing with your emotions?
