This isn't my work but that of a friend. Anyone who likes her writing can follow her too. Her blog is posted under the blogs that I follow under, Living With Lupus But Dying of Everything Else. It's not light fare, but worth thinking about. She makes a valuable point...
That feels better!
That was TOTALLY what I needed. Sometimes to really feel our feelings fully we have to FEEL THEM and process them and let them flow through us.
Anger is odd- I, like most women, have been taught not to BE or SHOW my anger. I've spent the better part of my life figuring out how to have and display anger in non-hostile, non-hurtful ways... but I still fail. I still succumb. Sometimes I am even overcome by it and wallow in fear or anger or despair.
But putting it down and sharing it and shining the light on it HELPED ME. It is lovely actually. Once you shine a light on the dark spaces they cannot hide and fester. It feels very cleansing. Like a wound left able to heal. I feel free again.
I need to stop hiding from writing when I'm in pain. Stoicism is for suckers.
