Hi Priscilla. Something I learnt a little while ago was very powerful for me and may be relevant for you, perhaps. I discovered that – I AM NOT MY FEELINGS”!!!!! I found that astonishing, but it is true. I HAVE feelings, but they are NOT ME! Amazing!! What this means is that I can choose to feel happy or sad, angry or forgiving, resentful or generous, hurt or compassionate. I can start out feeling one way and simply decide to feel differently because I don’t like the feeling I have. Its awesome when you realise that, because you are no longer a prisoner of old emotions. It means you have the power of choice about how you feel.

I have also discovered that people are on a journey I know nothing about, except the story I make up about them. Those people in your past (even your past self) are no longer there, and they were only ever your story anyway. All you see is a picture, and the real person lives behind it with all the sadness, anger, disappointment and hurt we all have in our own ways. Just because you cant see it doesn’t mean it isn’t there. We mostly only show the positive things to the world and hide away the hurts. So you cannot know if they are happy, and might it be a relief to decide it isn’t your business anyway, and you can just let go of that feeling any time you like?
