My entire life I have struggled with expressing how I felt inside; it has always felt second-nature to me to keep it to myself. As you can imagine this creates huge problems. Bottling emotions up really is as bad as everyone says it is. The feelings just expand and grow. You're constantly thinking about that emotion and why you feel that way and really that does nothing but make that feeling almost unbearable.
Expressing the emotion when you feel it allows it to pass and be resolved quickly.
I feel enlightened. It's such a simple, obvious concept; yet so foreign to me.
I've made a promise to myself to make a conscious effort to express my emotions as I feel them. I feel I've made my life so much more complicated than necessary because I bottle everything up, eventually I blow up.
I believe this will relieve any tension in relationships I have with people. It will allow me to be more open with them, so we are always on the same page.
