Me: No!
Me: Nonsense!
This was me, beloveds, when I found myself wanting to get all up in my feels because life was being mean. Or, so I thought/said/whined/complained.
It’s important, beloveds, to not allow your feels to run your life.
Otherwise, your feels will have you all up in your feelings. You will begin to say:
No way.
I don’t know how.
It’s hopeless.
I am hopeless.
It’s imperative to tell your feels NO, and absolutely NOT, when they want to act a fool and act like all is lost. All is NOT lost. Some things may be hard, at the moment. Other things, may have been removed, but ALL is NOT lost.
Tell your feels:
No!
So what?
Keep going.
Boo hoo!
Then, get back to:
Living.
Loving.
Hoping.
Life can and does happen. So what, beloveds? What are YOU going to do about it? Stop carrying on and start happening to your life! Life is not always fair. So what? Boo hoo. Now, happy? I have cried for you. I have played a little violin for you. I know, this sounds hard/harsh. And? Life is short. Hard/harsh is NOT a crime, you know.
I have been snatching my feels, by the collar, and letting them know….well, NO. You will NOT run my life. I do. It’s okay, to feel things. Just not the best choice to allow your feels to run you ragged doing things that do not serve you. Be encouraged, though. You got me. How terrible can your life be knowing this amazing factoid!?
Here,
Cassandra

Note: Be encouraged. Everything will be alright. Remember you are loved and not alone. Keep being you.
