What if I don’t want to get over something? Maybe I rather just continuously stoup over a painful memory or let my emotions determine how long it takes to resolve a feeling.
Have you ever tried telling your emotions to get over it?
Ha! Try it some time. Emotions don’t use logic, and getting over something is completely logical. You can’t reason with something that uses no logic.
So as long as I’m willing to admit that I’m not ready to get over something, shouldn’t it be acceptable to other people? Who are they to say when I should be over it? They are not me, and they do not know what I’m feeling.
I like to think that if you keep your emotions locked up long enough one day they will burst out and you’ll end up hurting everyone around you and perhaps yourself…hurt past the point of salvage. So let out those feels as they come! Find ways to express your feelings that are healthy and respectful…and every now and then perhaps a little unhealthy. Sometimes letting those expressions out can be good for the soul too. (I’m not saying it’s okay to hurt people on purpose mind you.)
For the record I am perfectly okay with however long it takes for all of you to get over stuff. You take your sweet time. Just be honest about it. I’m not a mind reader over here, so I need to have that much insight.
Oh yes, and I’ll never argue about how you feel.
