Girl…You Don’t Have to Feel This Way
Ever been told:
“Don’t take it so personally.”
“Why are you so emotional?”
“Stop being so sensitive.”
Ugh, right? Deep down, you know that’s not you. You’re not trying to be dramatic or over-the-top—you just want to feel seen and heard. I get it. They started it. They were out of line. They didn’t get it. And all you want is for them to UNDERSTAND.
When life gets messy, unfair, or something bad happens, it’s natural to feel terrible or react to it, right? It’s even more frustrating when someone tells you to just chill, move on, or forget about it. The truth is, it’s a tough situation, and you have every right to feel the way you do.
But here’s the hard truth, babe: It’s not what happened that’s making you feel this way. It’s the meaning you gave to what happened—and how you chose to respond.
You’re allowed to get mad, but you don’t have to scream.
You’re allowed to feel sad, but you don’t have to shut down.
You’re allowed to be upset, but you don’t have to sulk for days.
The thing is, most of us don’t know how to deal with our emotions, so we let them take our focus, decisions and our personality away. And before we know it, we’ve become this angry, irritable, moody version of ourselves. But let me tell you right now: That’s not you.
I know you don’t want to feel like this anymore. And here’s the kicker: You can’t rely on people or situations to change to make you feel better. It’s just not how it works. Managing your emotions? That’s YOUR responsibility.
It’s okay to feel what you feel—anger, sadness, frustration. What matters is what you do with those emotions.
Here’s a little secret: Those feelings that knock you down? They’re not the enemy. They’re messengers. They’re trying to tell you something about the meaning you gave to what happened. And sometimes, that meaning? It’s not serving you.
The GOOD NEWS? You can change the meaning.
You can choose a better RESPONSE.
You can rewrite the whole damn story.
I’m not saying it’s easy. Owning your emotions and deciding to feel better about something that triggered you? That’s tough. But you know what? It’s also liberating. Because it means you hold the power.
So, yes, get mad. Get triggered. Feel all the things. But handle it with GRACE, with strength, with PEACE. When you stop letting your emotions run the show, life gets so much lighter. Your relationships get better. And those “hard” moments? They don’t hit as hard anymore.
It’s not magic—it’s a SKILL. One that you can learn.
