Feelings are sometimes hard things to sort through, fight against, and/or accept.  A lot of times the logic in your head is screaming at you not to feel the way that you do…so why do you feel that way?  Why is it that feelings can be a great guide, an advanced warning system at the same time they can be a horrible distraction, and really set you off your game.  Sometimes feelings lie…sometimes they are so illogical that they can make you feel crazy.  Sometimes your own feelings or fear of some of your feelings can drive you to loneliness, isolation; to a part of the world that you create for yourself so you never have to fully open up and expose yourself to other people…..but this is no way to live in my opinion.  Fear and Risk generally lead to some of the greatest things in life, including happiness and love.  Settling for contentment is just not really living for most people, at least not for me. 

If we live in fear of our emotions or live constantly fighting our emotions than we will never be happy.  We have to learn how to examine and understand our feelings from a logical point of view.  We need to remember that things are not usually as they seem at first.  We have to remember that feelings can lie.  We have to remember that feelings are a part of our being and without that I don’t think we would be considered human.  We cannot just ignore our feelings, but understand them….Without our feelings we would never feel happiness, love, and passion.  Granted along with these feelings we get some of the negative or scary ones as well, but think about all we would be missing if we hid from or denied our emotions…would we appreciate or even be able to experience happiness if we never experienced sadness?….would relationships grow if we never experienced hurt?

All feelings are important and need to be valued, it’s what makes us human.  We just need to remember that feelings are only part of our being and we can’t separate them from the logical part….
