There were many years that my emotions were always just below the surface, ready to boil over. I stuffed them down and tried to control them. Then the smallest thing would bring the weirdest responses.
Working through my deep emotional issues helped me to clean out the volcano. Little by little I worked through my garbage. Today, I try to be aware of each situation and how I feel about it. That way I don't have to let it fester and grow into a huge outburst. Emotions are just a part of life. Having support to deal with them, large or small, when they come up is a great tool. Learning to be in tune with them and allow them to be is a great tool too. It took a long time and a lot of work to get to that place. I like that place a lot better. Hugs, Magic
