Emotions.

Emotions.

They’re simple. very simple. They’re just plain old emotions. Yet, they're strange.

Happy. excited. sad. crazy. upset. scared. overwhelmed. bored. emotions from our everyday lives. emotions that we carry. emotions that we become.

In other words, we are our emotions (or so I believe). And yet we’re taught to believe in something completely different. Our emotions aren’t supposed to drive our thoughts, decisions. Stop being emotional. Stay calm. cool. composed.

But that certainly isn’t what we do. We react. worry. stress. Sometimes try and fix it. set rules. or seek help. But there are boundaries. obstacles.

We’re told to control our emotions. Be precise. relaxed. direct.

Ironic. A relaxed state of mind, is, after all an emotion.

Sigh! Emotions are still there. They never leave. They’re here to drive us nuts.

Perhaps the escape lies in fixing ourselves with a prayer. patience. faith. Sounds simple? Maybe so.

And despite such a simple solution, the simple problem still remains.
