Human emotions are not mutually exclusive
This time of year can be so damn full and social, but at the same time it can leave us feeling empty and alone.
And I think that’s the thing I’ve learned lately about being human:
You can be soft and strong,
fierce but also tender,
feel like too much and not enough.
You can be confused and still know,
alone but also deeply connected,
scared and choose to try (and try again).
You can be broken and still worthy,
healing but also whole,
deeply ache and still love.
This is our heartbreaking and heartbuilding ability as human beings.
Human emotions are not mutually exclusive.
We think we need to have total clarity, no fear, and have it all figured out before *insert whatever we want to happen here* happens.
Bah humbug!
It means I had something that good to lose, risked, and actually cared. I’m one grateful and lucky lady.
So, this season and evermore, I hope you let yourself feel both.
A fellow feeling human,
Deanne
