FEELING.

For the 100th time, you’re not your feelings.

“There are days where the world feels like nothing more than a movie, and every day is another scene that requires a new me. I’m expected to act as though I don’t care who sees me, but the audience is filled with people who see right through me.”

~ (A poem sitting rent free in my head all day)

You can feel all shades of overwhelmed and overstimulated, but that’s not you. You’re not your pain, your mistakes, your depression. You’re just you.

There are days I wake up feeling so ugly. My adorable cheeks feel like a burden, my charming smile gives fake vibes, pimples break through my face, and not to mention my crazy hair.

Now, I know I’m beautiful, drop dead kind of gorgeous, but there are days that test the extent of how I truly rate myself. And I can’t lie, I fall for it every now and then.

The point is, you can be beautiful and not feel beautiful, and that’s completely fine. What is not fine is concluding you’re ugly simply because you happen to feel ugly that day.

Your feelings and your being are two totally different concepts. They have absolutely no business together.

Dearest reader, even on the days when you feel like crap, make sure you don’t turn yourself into your feelings. Like I always say, your identity is not dependent on fleeting things. And trust me, there’s nothing more fleeting than feelings because let’s be honest, the rate at which we get over feelings is rather alarming.

You can be feeling sad right now, and the moment I send you money, you’re over the moon, genuinely happy. Which means you were never sad, you were just feeling sad.

Emphasis on feeling, because one should never be confused for the other.

Ciao.
