Validity

I cried the whole way home on the train today. It was peak hour and I was sitting at the front. It didn't bother me surprisingly. It liberated me. Only a single individual had asked me if I was alright. I was. I just needed to let it out. I've been holding it in for too long. I needed to breath out.

I cried in front of my customers and I blamed it on allergies. They believed it. At least I did. I couldn't tell anybody the truth. When I finally did it sounded silly and that I was being ridiculous. But I mustn't continue this habit of dismissing myself and my feelings. 

How I feel is completely reasonable because they come from a place of love or a place of fear. I haven't been taught any other way and I need to reteach myself that it's okay to have strong emotions but how I react to these emotions is important and essential to me and others. Understand the properties of the emotion and why they are there. What's their purpose?

Practice this.
