I fight a lot of depression. I hold things in. I burst into tears at the first sign of a confrontation. It’s just something I’ve always done. It’s the “normal” to me. No one understands it. No one wants to. It doesn’t make sense to anyone, even myself.

I’ve struggled with feelings toward family, feelings toward life, feelings toward myself and just feelings in general. I feel A LOT. It’s often joked that I have enough feeling and emotion for my whole family, but it’s true. I’m so soft hearted and I’m not afraid to admit that.

I’ve had a lot on my heart that HURTS. Hurts so much that most people would just get rid or unassociate with whatever was hurting them so much. But I can’t. That’s not who I am. I hate confrontation, I hate knowing people don’t like me, I hate knowing that I’ve upset someone. I hate that kind of stuff.

The other day I confided in a friend about something bothering me and she gave me the best advice, write it off your heart. Which is crazy because I used to write everything that bothered me when I was in high school and college. So today I started a “write it off your ❤️” notebook.

Whatever is bothering you, write it off your chest, heart and mind. Once you write it down that’s it. It’s gone. If it keeps coming back just keep writing it away. Get the negative feelings, hurtful feelings, painful feelings, all of it off your heart. Better your self health.

You can’t fix everyone. You can’t change what people say or how they feel. No matter who they are. Pray for them. Pray that God brings them the peace that you want. I hope that everyone has peace. But to get that peace, it starts with yourself.

Be you. Be happy. Let it go.
