Apparently, I am an emotional being.
I didn't always used to be as I am highly logical. (I also was surrounded by emotionally unavailable people).
But somewhere along the way with all of my trauma and also the permission to be myself, the floodgates opened.
And there's no closing them.
This last year was acknowledging that I have anxiety, learning self-soothing techniques to provide comfort when I feel my feelings, and learning to regulate and manage my emotions.
As well as having people I can turn to for emotional support (my life partner, my friend, therapist).
I am a lot more in tune with my emotions now. I'm also tracking my cycle and where my emotions are within it.
It's definitely been a journey but I am proud of my emotional growth work.
And I am proud to be an emotional being. I feel things deeply and that's just a part of who I am. I cry at the drop of a hat; happy tears, sad tears, angry tears, confused tears, anxiety tears, I experience them all. But it's all releasing the emotional energy inside of me.
