Feeling Your Feelings Won't Change Everything… And That's Okay

The other day, I was sitting down coloring, and I started thinking about how much I missed my husband. I wrote the words "I miss you" on my coloring page, but then I started covering them up. Because in my mind, I was thinking, what's the point of feeling sad? What's the point of missing him when it's not going to bring him home? And that moment made me realize something about myself. For so long, I've treated my feelings like something I needed to fix, change, or make go away. Almost like there was no point in feeling something if it wasn't going to change my circumstances. But I'm learning that not every feeling needs a solution. Sometimes sadness is just sadness. Sometimes we miss someone, we cry, we hurt, and nothing around us changes. And that's okay. Our feelings don't have to fix anything, change anyone, or produce a different outcome to deserve to be felt. They're called feelings for a reason. So feel them. 💛 This is just another part of my journey of learning to embrace my softness, accept myself, and allow myself to be human. #FeelYourFeelings #EmotionalHealing #SelfAcceptance
