About This Quote
Your emotions make you human. Even the unpleasant ones have a purpose. Don't lock them away. If you ignore them, they just get louder and angrier.
Do you ever feel like you’re constantly struggling with yourself? It’s not your fault. The more we push our emotions aside, the more they fight for freedom and the more we end up struggling with ourselves. It’s like trying to hold some wild animal as it struggles against our hand that’s trying to keep it caged.
When we deal with our emotions head on, we’re able to be true to ourselves and live more authentically.
