January Round-up: "It's Okay to Feel"

When I started the year, I decided that I will make a monthly goal of what I want to work on so that I will slowly become better than how I was when I started 2014.

January became the month of being okay with feelings, acknowledging when I'm happy, sad, angry, etc., and simply not ignoring what is it that my heart truly is saying.

I say this because I've always been one of those people who always used her head. I always rationalize. I try not to marinade in the feeling, the emotion. I am quick to tell my brain to dictate how I really should feel about something.

I wallowed in a lot of self-pity in January. I envied a lot of people who can just simply be. I laughed loudly and cried. I told people how I'm feeling, being open with regards to what is it exactly that is going through my system.

It was uncomfortable. It was difficult. I would be lying if I say that I am truly okay with simply telling everyone how I feel. But it was a step. It was sort of liberating and awkward at the same time.

It's still a work in progress but at least I'm working on it.

Now it's on to February, the month to just do it.
