Emotions and Feelings; The importance of being in control


If there is anything I know about, that I don't need an education from a book on, it is emotions. My life has been forcefully crammed with these so called feelings since I have had breath. There are times, when I'm being honest with myself, that I would classify myself as an "emotional basket case". The fact that I can admit this ,took me years, but the advantages for my heart and mind have been great. Most of my family has no clue who I am because I have either hid it or they judge too much and figure they know because I'm in their family and so I don't bother with that. They have no clue. I want and need the people around me to be there for a reason; because of love and that they want to. That's an insecurity in a sense and at the same time because I appreciate originality and being true to oneself; all the time...integrity. So let's talk about some emotion.

Of course I'm going to talk about relationships, what else? In my life and relationships, it has been a roller coaster of lessons learned that have made me into the man I hope to still become. I have learned the importance of understanding that emotions are feelings, nothing more. I have let them dig at my thoughts and heart to the point where I made bad decisions that had an impact on my life so drastic, that I thought sometimes I could go no further. Learning to deal with this so that I could contain my sanity was a must for me. How your different personality plays into how you deal with your issues has a lot to do with how you cope, and everyone is different and should be handled accordingly. Life is not over just because one person cannot find the answers for my questions. We should not spend forever trying to make someone see it from our point of view; but rather allow life to give you someone who already does or is open minded enough to try. If we are living our lives for us, then all this will take its role on its own. There are different things that people experience in life that creates our responses to emotion. Ultimately, live to be happy for you. Do what makes you happy and try not to put yourself in situations that are simply attractive at the moment. Who and what we put around ourselves will become who we are. Everyone seems to think they are above this rule. "Be courageous, it's easier than you think."-Shaun King.

I could sit and write about this for more than a day. I have chose to cut it off now for 3 reasons.
1. See if anyone finds, reads, and responds to this
2. Feedback and questions bring more conversation
3. I don't want these blogs to be rediculously long
