The Way Out
I have been feeling heartachy lately. It might be the time of year...or month. I miss my friends who have who have moved, moved on, moved away, moved in a different direction... I have so much homework that starting it feels overwhelming, so instead I drew this picture. I've been experimenting with new ways to cope with emotions. It's a professional investigation, but it sure has helped me a lot personally. I'm starting to understand how emotionally driven my behavior is, and how to channel my feelings into positive actions that actually work to change or relieve the emotion, and not just to numb it. Sometimes numbing feels so good, but as Brene Brown said, we can't selectively numb. If you numb, you numb the good and the bad. Numbing isn't a way out. The only way out is through.
