Emotions are a natural part of being human from "summary" of Things We Never Got Over by Lucy Score

In a world where we often try to suppress our emotions or pretend they don't exist, it's important to remember that emotions are simply a part of being human. They're like the colors on a palette, each one adding depth and richness to the canvas of our lives. We can't pick and choose which emotions we feel, just as we can't control the weather. They come and go like waves, sometimes gentle and soothing, other times crashing and tumultuous. When we try to deny our emotions or push them away, we're essentially denying a fundamental part of ourselves. It's like trying to hold back a river with your bare hands - eventually, it's going to burst through and flood everything in its path. Emotions are meant to be felt, acknowledged, and processed. They're not something to be ashamed of or afraid of. In fact, they're what make us human. Whether we're feeling joy, sadness, anger, fear, or any other emotion, it's all part of the human experience. Each emotion serves a purpose, whether it's to alert us to danger, help us connect with others, or simply bring us comfort. Trying to suppress our emotions only leads to more pain and suffering in the long run. It's like trying to hold a beach ball underwater - it takes a tremendous amount of effort and eventually, it's going to pop back up to the surface.
  1. Why not embrace them? Why not allow ourselves to feel whatever it is we're feeling, without judgment or shame? By accepting our emotions as a natural part of being human, we can learn to navigate them more effectively and ultimately lead richer, more fulfilling lives. Emotions are not something to be afraid of - they're something to be celebrated.
