I Am for Emotion

I am for Emotion. Turning your face towards the swells and tides that we are taught to ignore. I am for embracing emotion.

I am for quiet emotions, soft and whispering like a perfectly warm cup of tea.

I am for emotions that scream from the mountain tops and end up as red smears on canvas and tears on bathroom sinks.

I am for a pillow beating, feet stomping, ice cream eating, wilderness romping, healing is real and heart beating emotion.

I am for shadow searching emotion that emerges drenched in black sludge and desperate for answers.

I am for righteous shame towards our transgressions, empowered to do things differently. The inspiration to change thought processes and understand others deeply.

I am for messy emotion, silent emotions, tired emotions, overwhelming emotions, anxious emotions, learning from emotions.

I am for heart sinking and depth of emotion that was once thought impossible, a moment in the dark depths to take in the feeling of drowning.

I am for confusing emotions, angry emotions, bored emotions, irrational emotions, empty emotions, on-the-tip-of-your-tongue emotions.

I am for happiness that lifts and sits in the chest like a familiar friend, welling in eyes, wet with reminiscent awareness.

I am for learning from emotions, and learning to live with emotions.
