The heaviness of unexpressed and denied emotions
has a direct effect on your life-force.

You become
tired – overwhelmed,
disappointed – confused,
sad – lonely.

You lose touch with eagerly anticipating connecting with another.
You lose touch with finding delight in a moment.
You lose touch with the mystery of Life.

You live pain.

When you deny, ignore and run from your pain,
it becomes a part of your emotional baggage.

Heavy.
Dark.
Destructive.

And, yes, you often hit others
with your emotional baggage.

There comes a moment
when your pain cuts through avoidance.

There is nowhere to run.

You come face-to-face with your anguish,
and you feel the enormity of it.
