I use to ask myself that question a lot and it started to sound like being emotional was a flaw, a fault, or something plainly wrong. I mean, what is so wrong with being emotional anyway? Why do we have to constantly camouflage or suppress our feelings and emotions? Why do we have to fake the strength we genuinely do not possess?

I was strong on hiding and boxing emotions up in dark rooms until I stumbled on a beautiful article from Lonerwolf; I got an email notification on the blog post and I totally ignored the mail for some 14 days because I wasn’t exactly sure if I was even ready to let go of my “emotion-boxing” habit.

Sigh.

I eventually read the article and I am forever glad I did. I’m glad I wasted all that time leaving that mail marked unread for weeks (I hate leaving mails unread for the record) because I believe the universe was waiting for the right time for me to consume that beautiful information.

I read it and finally admitted that being Emotional or Hysterical isn’t a flaw or a sign of weakness like we seem to make it be these days. I read every line of that article, digested them, meditated on them and decided to live by no rule.

Asides developing a habit of constant gratitude, learning and deciding not to give a f**k anymore, unboxing my emotions was the 3rd life changing lesson I learnt in 2016. I made a solid decision to embrace every emotion that I consciously and unconsciously project henceforth with.

The Result?

My life has changed, not drastically, but gradually I suppose. I have learnt to accept actions, strengths and weaknesses in all its capacities regardless of the aftermath, my thoughts and that of others.
