When an eclectic wave of emotions hits you hard. You feel the sadness because you lost someone special and you refuse to let go, perhaps the memory could keep that dear one alive. You feel the frustration when things are not working out the way you expect them to. You feel the pain over the betrayal of a close one you thought you could trust for a lifetime. But then you recall that letting go, or trying to, is the only way to keep going on. Life never waits for those who reminisce or ponder over a lost era of time, it appreciates the ones who relish the present moment. You feel helpless when you are stuck in a situation and you fail to gain an ounce of control. You feel the anger when you cannot make yourself stronger, and when you fail to push yourself to the limits you know you can cross with the will and abilities you know are buried deep inside. You feel the disappointment when the person you love fails to confess those three little words that could change your life.
But that's not just it, life is all about yin and yang, and it revolves around balance. You feel the happiness of being where you are today, the happiness of surviving life. You feel the joy when you make someone happy, and when you make an elderly/grandparent smile. That simple smile that makes you feel you just made their day, makes you feel like you are someone special. You feel ecstatic when you listen to that song that could make the world a brighter place in no time. You feel the success when you accomplish what was thought to be impossible. That special moment that could get you through tough times by simply remembering it, so you say to yourself:" I did that, I can do much more". You are at peace because you are satisfied with your soul and with who you are today. At the present moment, you cherish the individual carved by the hardships of time.
You have to keep in mind that feelings are inevitable. We are sentient beings and we know that :“The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart”― Helen Keller. Because when you feel, you live, and when you live you honor the life given to you, the same life that could disappear at any moment without a single warning! Be resilient, be who you are, and “Never apologize for showing your feelings. When you do, you are apologizing for the truth.” ― José N. Harris, MI VIDA: A Story of Faith, Hope and Love
