Feelings are Feelings

The other day I was talking with my boyfriend about feelings. We were talking how we express our feelings in different ways. I tend to express my feelings very easily, is like breathing. I guess is part of my personality. In other hand, he is completely the opposite of me. He tends to be more reserved when comes to express his feelings. In that part, I can tell we are opposite poles. Since our personalities are this way, I develop another sense, the feeling sense.  I can tell when he said, “I love you” without him saying anything; I can tell when he said “miss you” again without him saying so. This does not work always, but when do I feel happy.

The same thing happened with my older son, he is not an expressive boy at all, but I can tell when he is mad or happy or sad, even when he is hiding something from me. The other day I picked him up in the afternoon and I noticed that something was not right with him. I asked him if he was ok, and he just said that he was tired, but I could tell something was wrong. As I was driving home I keep insisting and insisting (something that I do very well!) to him to tell me what was wrong. When we finally arrived home he told me that he got a citation.

With time I have learned that there is not wrong or right feelings, and also, I have learned that feelings are not only for women, everybody male and female have feelings, and have the same rights to express them. Feelings are just that feelings, and we need and must express them in one way or the other. Feelings can grow in us. You meet this guy or woman, and you like him or her. You guys start dating, and your feelings after a while will start growing, and you will fall in love, because you are feeding the feeling with experiences and moments together. When you are mad with your couple, parents, friends, well with someone, your feeling will grow too, but this time with things that you put by yourself in you head, especially if you do not talk about it.

It is important that we express our feelings, talking about them, expressing them with actions, or writing them, anyway is good as long as you don’t hurt somebody or yourself. Because of your feelings, you are able to do nice things or really stupid things, and because your feelings you make decisions every day in your life. God expresses His feeling of love to us since He send His son to die in the cross for us, and before that. He express His feeling that he cares about us when he send people to help us in our life, He show us His love when He protect us from sickness, accidents, troubles, and you can keep saying, He demonstrate His love when He do things that even when is not what we want or expect He do it because He knows what is bets for us, even when we do not understand it right away.
