Emotions

             Never apologize for being sensitive or emotional. Being able to feel, observe, assess and understand emotions in a profound way only gives you strength. Being sensitive allows you to know exactly how you’re doing, how you’re feeling, what you’re planning and what your biggest fears are. 

Being an introvert, I can feel the slightest changes in one’s behavior. I can detect when people change the way they talk to me or the way they look at me. And I never apologize for being sensitive. As for me, being sensitive is a way of telling people not to underestimate me. I may not be good at being social but when it comes to emotions, I can tell things about you that even you cannot put into words. 

I’ve seen people who handle their emotions in ways others cannot even imagine and I’ve seen people getting all messed up in their emotions and turning them into prisons. They hold on to their grief, despair, fear, loneliness or whatever form their suffering takes.

                But unless we embrace those very emotions. Unless we allow them to be there we would never see how the miracle of surrender transmutes deep suffering into deep peace. When everything is temporary; Emotions, thoughts, people and scenery, there’s no point being too attached. Just flow with it.

Harness what is best and breath out the excess.
