“I’d spent two years trying to get into a relationship, and the next five trapped, clawing my way out. I obsessed until my head ached. Literally, it hurt. I didn’t know what feelings were. Whenever I said I felt something, people said, ‘Don’t feel that!”

Help and Guidance for Today’s Generation
by Melody Beattie
Have you ever doubted your own feelings? Melody Beattie describes so well how we can be in situations that cause all sorts of reactions within us but people tell us not to feel what we are feeling! Don’t let that doubt about how you feel creep in. Examine your feelings. Feel your feelings. Get the learnings from them and then let them go. They are there for your personal growth. Don’t let others tell you not to feel what you feel!
