10 Steps for Sorting My Emotions
The last week has been more than challenging. Every time I think I have it together, another ball drops primarily in the relationship field. It’s got my emotions all over the place.
Before, I’d just cope.
Between 2007 and 2015, I’d take an amphetamine, drink a copious amount of alcohol, and smoke a pack of cigarettes.
Between 2015 and 2018, I’d have a secret cigarette, have a couple of drinks, and punch a hole in the wall.
The problem with having all of these emotions is my dedication to knowing them intimately. I’m not talking about just coping. I’m talking about engaging. Inviting them in for coffee when it’s inconvenient. Really getting to know them on a personal level. To the point where I’m changing my Facebook status as, “in a relationship” with them, and we are putting up away messages about each other that are in “our” secret code. I want to be that serious with myself.
