Feeling Feelings..... :(

Feelings are complicated...
Feelings are really complicated. Knowing how you feel, why and then trying to explain it to yourself; let alone others can sometimes be a headache. It is however, very important that we understand feelings/emotions and be able to articulate them to ourselves. This enables us to sort through the debris left by our wounds and identify why we feel a certain way. Understanding is important.
Without understanding, you will inevitably ignore key aspects of your journey of pain and disappointment, which can lead to you missing the very important lessons that are core in your development. Understanding wounds from scars, pain from disappointment and sadness from loneliness. Understanding pain that is magnified by your memory that makes the feeling seem new when in fact it is not. Understanding why you have or had to go through the process and then implementing key changes and decisions, to enable you to use that very incident as a stepping stone instead of letting it define you. 
Even though feelings are complicated, once you understand them, they are not so hard to figure out.
