Old Me...This me

While burying negative or uncomfortable feelings can numb the pain, it also may inevitably dull your ability to experience your more positive and pleasurable feelings. You may find yourself afraid to open up in the future for fear of getting hurt. The feelings we deny aren’t limited to anger and sadness. Suppressing our happiness or excitement can be just as unhealthy. In learning how to express your intense emotions in a healthy way, you are giving yourself the freedom to fully experience the more joyful emotions that come with being alive.
The old me would leave it to fester, to bury it in the bowels far far awayThis me, I write it out, cry, do some exercise, talk a little moreThe old me would say nothing to be liked and avoid "seeming conflict"This me would say something as kindly as I canThe old me may have not taken responsibility or find blameThis me has decided that it's all me, I am responsible for my lifeThe old me would not even be wrting about this This me says sharing lessons on the journey teaches me and wants others to know that we are all connectedThe old me would look for a saviourThis me knows that I can save myselfWhat are your old me, this me stories?Share
Peace
