Hey y'all.
For those of you who don't know me, I'm a very emotional individual. I feel everything hard and in a typical day I experience a full (and intense) range of emotions. Regular day-to-day things can stir deep emotional responses in my heart - both negative and positive. I'm just a feeler. A typical ENFP.
I've just been thinking so much lately about how these displays of emotion have become a negative thing in our society. I have it nailed into my head that sharing my heart and emotions is a bad thing. I'm so tired of hearing emotionality portrayed as rationality's evil twin. I think both play an important role in today's world.
I want a society where both tenderheartedness and good sense are valued equally. More than anything, I'd like people to respect my emotions and feelings; I want people to stop telling me to stop being myself!
Emotions are a good thing. Period.
