Recognizing and then Acknowledging, and Naming, and being able to sit with your feelings for as long as need be are very healthy to the heart ♥️ and the soul.
Not easy by any means. There’s power in this that’s worth the effort.
You are learning a great deal about what it is to be fully human.
Yes all my feelings are necessary parts of my humanity.
Having the skill to pause, experience and then make a choice about what comes next that is the journey to maturity and deep self love and acceptance .
Life is more like a stock market graph than a stairway I’ve found.
I am in my 70s now and still learning deeply about what it is to be human in all it’s wonder and complexity.
Yes the suffering of my earlier life has enriched me beyond all expectation.
I am never bored and remain curious and passionate about the days ahead, and am as contemporary as it is tasteful to be.
Our earthscape remains a place of infinite possibility and wonder to me.
Trying not to grasp anything too tightly, sharing and being open to actual reality helps my small defensive or sometimes angry spirit not to get too caught up in my ego….always a struggle unless we have spent decades in contemplation.
I have learnt that seeking perfection in self or others is soul destroying.
We are all human and carry similar flaws in different degrees.
Trying to live as a member of one human race with many cultural threads works for me.
I am flawed and that is okay.
There is still time to understand more about how I came to be this particular human being.
We are all complex when we are living the life of “THE VELVETEEN RABBIT”.

My husband is fifteen months into recovery and he’s still learning that feeling his emotions won’t break him—it actually keeps him sober. Thank you for this. The stuffing-it-down habit is so hard to unlearn, but posts like yours make it feel possible.
I like this!!! For sure it helps if you are in an environment where people “allow” you to feel your emotions and to be fully yourself as opposed to being low- key controlling and not allow you to be who you are. I desire to be fully myself in all of its shades - like it or not! I am at the point where i really don’t care!!! Keep feeling, keep blossoming into You!!

Cushelaさん、こんなに深く読んでくださって、ありがとうございます。🌿
70代になっても、人間であることの驚きや複雑さを学び続けているという言葉、とても心に残りました。
「私には欠点がありますが、それでいいのです。」 その言葉も、とても素敵ですね。
海や山、川を越えて届けてくださった温かい思い、こちらにも届きました😊
Bonjour Tomoko,
Je suis entré très récemment sur ce chemin de l’attention à soi-même et à ses émotions.
J’ai lu votre texte avec bonheur et je me suis reconnu.
Je vous suis reconnaissant pour cette mise en mots. Je suis ému en vous écrivant.
Un grand merci de France 🇫🇷.
Arnaud
Merci beaucoup, Arnaud, pour votre message depuis la France. 😊
Je suis très touchée de savoir que mes mots ont résonné en vous.
Prendre conscience de ses émotions et se tourner vers soi-même… Je crois que ce chemin peut se faire doucement, à son propre rythme. 🌿
Merci pour vos mots si chaleureux.

Thank you, JustLinen, for sharing something so personal.
Feeling our emotions doesn’t make us weak or broken. Sometimes, allowing ourselves to feel is part of healing.
I’m so glad my words gave you a little hope. 🌿

「自分のすべての面を含めて、自分らしくありたい」という言葉、とても素敵ですね。
感じることも、自分らしくあることも、大切にしていきたいですね🌿
tomokoさん、こんにちは☘️
私は幼い時から自分のありのままの気持ちに蓋をして置き去りにすることが多かったので、とても共感します☺️
私もどんな感情でも、そう感じた自分をそのまま受け止めて、自分のそばにいてあげたいと思います😊
Rimiさん、こんばんは😊
私も、感じたことに蓋をして置き去りにしてしまうことがありました。
だからこそ、今は「そう感じたんだね」「つらかったね」「悲しかったね」と、どんな感情にも言葉をかけてあげるようにしています。 そうやって、自分の気持ちを置いていかないようにしています🌿
共感していただけて嬉しいです☺️
Tomokoさん、おはようございます✨
凄く共感します😌
自分の感情を受け入れるって、初めは難しく感じるけど、自分を大切にする上で不可欠なことなのかもしれないですね☺️
Tokiさん、おはようございます😊
共感していただけてすごくすごく嬉しいです。
自分の感情も大切にしながら過ごしていきたいですね🌿
ありがとうございます🥹
