FEEL FREE

Hello, Rebel Roses!
Today’s topic is about the stigma of expressing your emotions and showing your weakness. Women are seen as being either weak and timid or put together and driven. It can be hard to show their true emotions without being labeled as a drama queen or being over dramatic. IT IS OKAY TO NOT BE OKAY.

Some forget that being human involves having highs and lows. When we are upset it doesn't really matter what others think of the situation, or what their opinions are. You are upset for a reason and if it upsets you, hurts you or angers you then you have every right to react. It is an issue because it affects you. There are many people who need to learn to take other people's feelings into consideration. Or sometimes people just make mistakes. No one has the right to tell you that it is not a big deal, that it doesn't matter or that you need to get over it. It is your decision. Do not downplay a situation just to pacify those around you. Your body is too precious to let hurt, regret and anger fester inside of you. Heal at your own pace. Forgive at your own pace. Love again at your own pace. This can be easier said than done. There are actual people out there who want to see you succeed and be happy. Going to talk to a counselor to seek advice or guidance can be a great thing. Hiding your emotions and pain ultimately brings more heartache in the end. When there is so much to worry about, to feel and to hold on to, it can be hard to have clear thoughts and really understand what is happening within you. By finding an outlet that helps you organize your thoughts someplace other than inside your head, you can reveal things about yourself that you never really noticed before or were too afraid to admit. It is all about trial and error. Find something that helps you whether it is talking to someone, creating music, expressing yourself through art or dance; there are so many options out there. Just know that you deserve the best. You are important and how you feel matters. By trying to please others, some people can forget this. Feel free to feel!
Love you lots <3 ​
