I’ve Got a Feeling
Feelings throughout the day always waffle between feeling good and productive to feeling lost and reflective. When I can write and be creative, there are definite feelings of joy and success.
When I get reflective, it’s usually the what-ifs? The overwhelming desire to divorce myself from the routines of life and just veg out and dream.
Mixed emotions drive the day and always have. What makes the feelings thrive is being able to share what I do with others. That’s why writing is so important. That’s why being around people that share thoughts, ideas and experiences helps me.
It helps me understand more about the world in general, but more importantly, it helps me understand who I am. Where I fit in, in this world of strife and disorder.
Empathy, sympathy, and kindness are what I seek and what I hope I can provide for those who need it, whether it be family, friend, colleague or stranger.
To be heard and in turn just listen.
How do I feel? I feel open, vulnerable, and hopefully accepted. I hope that I can also be accepting, nonjudgemental and available for others that need to be heard, even if I have no idea how to respond.
It would be nice, in my opinion, if the rest of the world felt the same. I think I’ll reflect on that.
