Luckily, the depth of emotions are deciphered by surface level analysis.

We’ve given trauma, ego, projection, and a variety of other inherent sentiments center stage. We cater to them and make a Rubik’s cube out of them.

Unfortunately they’ve been used against us, a feeling is not just a feeling, it is a mosaic of past experiences that we need to take 20 steps back from to understand.

Our own sentiments should be subjected to our personal evaluation, it is the human condition to live this life knowing ourselves till our very last breathe

However, in this new era of psycho-philosophical discovery, our self discovery is used against us. We make endless diagnoses to the actions of others we use the emotional intellect we have acquired to excuse the pain that others make us feel, the place that they put us in.

It is no longer a matter of you act a way and it hurts me but a deep retelling within ourselves of their past and what caused them to inspire feelings of pain within us. We carry the burden of doing emotional work for others, sometimes selfishly so it excuses our persistency in pursuing that which doesn’t serve us. But when we give, it might seem like a respite to let someone momentarily win in a tug of war, until you find yourself face first on the floor.

In a world that revolves around the advancing movement of a step and the power of a spoken word, we sometimes forget how important it is that they are both done. Walk and talk, dance and sing. Let someone spin you into their arms with the verbal reassurance that they will be there to hold you in place at the end of every turn and you feeling the physical comfort of their bodies doing so. Let someone dip you, while they tell you they won’t let you fall with their hand on your back mid air letting you know this to be true.
