Sharing my feelings
In becoming better at sharing feelings I've become better at not sharing feelings. That might not make a bunch of sense but it really does.
Sometimes we as people experience things so profound they cannot be put into words. Feelings so intense that to put them in words would ultimately invalidate them because we would maket he infinite seem finite with our language.
It's almost insulting. I now realize for years I've been trying to put in words a feeling I never could. The reason I know that is because the source of the feeling has left me. I can't describe how it felt or how I currently feel. The only thing that can be done to honor that feeling is action.
So I'm acting on that feeling rather than describing it. I'm letting the intense feeling no matter how painful it is now or how dreadful it's been in the past fuel me to greater action.
Interestingly enough, doing this has left me feeling strangely fine.
To truly know forgiveness is to feel grateful for the experience. I'm there now and I really understand the words "better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all".
