Emotions, what a spectacular thing we humans have. We can’t see them but boy do we feel them. It’s incredible that all of us have emotions yet we have so many different ways to express them. It’s almost as same as the miracle of life, to give birth as mostly all of the women do it but to each and every one of them it’s a miracle and a unique experience.  

The same thing happens with emotions. If you think about it, just how many ways are there to express just one emotion for example your love.  To express your love for your partner is in a certain way and if the relationship changes then the way of love changes as well. You love your teacher, brother, wife, father, mother, dog or cat, friend but all of them receive a different form of love from you. It’s not that you don’t love them but still it’s different for everyone.

It is just astonishing the why emotions can change our whole life. When we grow, the emotions also changes and they grow with us. Well for some of us they remain the same. Some of us run out of these whereas most of us are full of them, and I admire the ones who are able to cry, love, get hurt and feel all of these emotions. I feel like I have run out of emotions. It’s not that I don’t have them but I feel like they are on reserve as I seem to have so little of everything. I often find myself struggling with these as its dreadfully rough to go through them and its gets especially hard if you have not process them well and I have made the mistake of not processing them completely. I never faced my emotions and always suppressed them and just pushed them away.  As a result of doing this for more than a decade I am low on emotions and everything is messed up, everything is attached with everything and it’s hard to untangled the intertwined emotions.

It gets hard to truly feel one thing at a time. I feel a lot of mixed up things and when I try to separate them all I can find is anger and agony. I feel there is nothing left and there is just emptiness. So don’t make the mistake I did and process your emotions and deal with them because there is no running away from them. At one point you will have to face them and the more time you take the more it will hurt.  The healthy way is to just face them and go through them and don’t avoid them.

Hate, anger, sadness, happiness, grief, anxiety, desire, proud etc emotions run us. We do each and everything based on them. Our emotions reflect us in our thinking and in our work, in our day to day life. Emotions make us stronger but they make us foolish too. They get in the way of logic. Logic is something that makes sense and if our emotions get the best of us well then a lot of lives have gone down the drain but I have seen people not regretting their decisions which were based on emotions and not logic and yet they feel content with what they did. They are happy with the fact that they choose emotions and not logic and on the contrary people who live their lives with logic often miss the presence of emotions. They want to be emotional rather than logical.  

Even though being logical is better and helps us to choose the right things and do the right things yet I have seen people wanting to be emotional and not logical. Why is that so? Why our emotions mean so much to us? Why our emotions are so important that if we don’t fulfill them we feel dissatisfied, discontent with our lives.  

Why are emotions important why do we need them why do they run our lives and why do we can’t live happily without them? What is so special about them that we feel empty without them and life seems to have no meaning? Why are emotions are imperative to our live a good life?

Our life becomes heaven or hell due to what we feel and how we process them. For example if you are hurt over something and you have not taken the time to feel the loss and process the emotions then that is gonna give you hard time cause the harder you try to avoid your feelings or push them away they will come back stronger and soon will become like a web which you won’t be able to get away from and you will have no control over it.

All I can say is that leaving emotions hanging and not dealing with them will only hurt you and your mental health. You won’t be able to mask them as well as you will . You will become mentally weak and the toll it will take on you will remain with you forever as it will scar you as long as you live.

Take care of yourself only then you can care for others…
