Emotions

Emotions are a crazy. They can make you do things you never dreamed of doing but at the same time can make you feel so alive. Do not react to situations based of emotions more than likely that is not the best response because you are not thinking so clearly, with the exception of when these are positive emotions. Reacting on negative emotions can cause you to lose friendships, relationships, and if they are not lost they can be drastically damaged. The best thing to do is to write your feelings down, take a moment to "woosah," and then address the situation with a level head. Blowing up with someone is not productive. It may feel good and yes, I am guilty of it, but in the end all it does is put the person on the defense and then before you know it, you are arguing over something petty or worse not talking to each other at all.

On the other side when you begin to develop feelings for someone, I say express those emotions. You can wait for the right time or place, but don't hold it in for too long. People often do not express emotions because of fear of becoming vulnerable. Fear that the other person does not share those same feelings for you. That is actually rare. Being vulnerable is not always a bad thing. It can be great. You discover parts of yourself that you never knew existed. You can open your heart to new possibilities. It's not taking a risk...it's taking a chance on having something something better. Men live as if they do not feel or have emotions but in reality they are the most sensitive of the genders. They are very careful with whom they actually share those feelings. So if a man, not a boy, has opened his heart and allowed to move into his heart, don't take it lightly. Appreciate and somewhat cradle those feelings. Women all this, "I am woman hear me roar" save that nonsense for a women's retreat. Let that man know that he lights up your life, he puts that smile on your face and just what exactly you feel for him.

Fear of not expressing your feelings can result in loosing a person as well. People become exhausted of giving of themselves and expressing themselves to never have a opportunity or possibility of more. They become guarded and protective and eventually shut the door on their heart so you can no longer occupy space that someone else wants and will appreciate.
