Being Emotional

Emotions in their purest form are very rare... Which is something I would be very interested in seeing change. The authentic emotions in themselves are conventional; truly seeing these emotions for what they are is quite diluted. The entire human population, although very similar, has a hard time relating to one another as individuals. This is why we choose to keep a petite circle of people close to our hearts. Only a handful of people out of the billions who occupy this earth truly connect with us on a mental, spiritual, and emotional level. Yet, on a daily basis we try to hide or swivel our emotions.

I am still guilty of this some days but I am trying to work on it. I am choosing to work on this particular aspect of myself because the individuals who I have the upmost respect for all share one common thing... They admit to being emotional. Isn't that beautiful? Weak is not a word that would ever be used to describe any of these gorgeous people. Yet, being emotional is typically seen as a weak characteristic. I feel ashamed that I used to consider myself strong for hiding so many feelings. Covering up an emotion in it's purest form is a huge boo-boo. It's one of the three things that connect us with our people (mental, spiritual, emotional.) There is no logical explanation for someone who says they have no true friends when he/she covers their own raw emotions. Dude, be raw. Be authentic. It's the only reasonable way to make connections with other individuals just like yourself. 

Sometimes people who have been in my life for a very long time surprise me. I learn something new about someone's way of thinking and in half of a second my entire perspective of them has changed. In that split second I have not only learned something new about the person, but also about myself. Because, from every new bit of information we get we also get a new emotion. Life is made up of positives and negitives. These positives and negitives hold true with every single emotion we feel... In short anyways. So, with every new piece of information we get a new (positive or negitive) emotion is also created. Neat. 

So with all these emotions being caged up inside of us it's easy to make unnatural connections with people. When we make a conscious effort to set our emotions free it's amazing the amount of positivity that comes into our lives. Whether with new connections or old ones with a new perspective, allowing ourselves to be raw will bring natural, authentic connections into our circle more frequently. 

When I hear people say that someone is emotional it makes me a tad angry. I feel this negitive emotion because we are all emotional. Unless you have ever had lobotomy, then yeah, everyone else would be emotional compared to you. Since we are all emotional I think that what most people mean when they say someone is "emotional" is that the reactions they have to their raw emotions are handled poorly. Which is a completely differnt thing. 

So summing all that up... Everyone is emotional. Embrace it. Accept it. Learn to fricken love it and an amazing amount of positivity will come into your life. I promise. 

Much Love,
