Emotions

Today, many things went right, and many went wrong too.

I had a day off today for my daughter’s wedding. The kitchen sink decided to break down. Just in those 2 events, a lot of emotions are boiling. So let’s just say today was a roller coaster. 

• Finishing to teach a course

• Figuring out what’s wrong with the sink

• see what I need to buy for it

• get ready for the wedding 

• come back home to fix the sink 

All of this is interlaced with emotions and seasoned with stress. Trying to be zen in those moments isn’t easy. I was trying to figure out what to do and mainly how to act appropriately. 

I was able to keep it together, although I wanted to scream at times.

It was only late tonight, as I was watching a sad episode on tv that I started crying while realizing how beautiful emotions can be. I think it was the accumulation of many scenes during the day that, when combined as one, became the picture I was seeing.

Emotions are expressions of something often hidden beneath a thick layer of misunderstandings. We don’t fully grasp the meaning of most of them because we rarely take the time to analyze them.

Part of digging deeper in yourself helps understand those. We all react differently, so it’s vital to observe very closely.

I believe this is the beginning of a fascinating life story when we take our emotions more seriously.

It’s also not a matter of being calculated in all aspects of life but rather being vigilant and not letting them run the show entirely. 

These emotions can become very powerful if we let them go wild. Sometimes it’s good, sometimes it’s not, but it’s always better to be prepared for when it’s not. We can be so driven and encouraged but also defeated by them.

What do you think? Let me know.
