this thing called emotions: i have learned that emotions can be felt and moved beyond or they can be allowed to grow and fester like a deep abscess on our soul
feel them, acknowledge them as they come up and then you can be done with them and they will fall from your soul like old withered leaves from a tree
ignore them, suppress them and they continue to grow and fester until they eventually become a cancer eating away at your soul. then they must be faced and dealt with or they will slowing consume you until there is nothing left to salvage
