It happened.
I felt sad and conflicted and angry and hurt.
No one said anything about it to me.
No one offered me comfort.
They acted like it never happened.
But now, they say forget it.
I question if was real – if what I’m feeling is real.
I try to forget it, but I can’t – it comes back into my thoughts when I least expect it.
They say, get back into your life.
I am in my life!
But, I’m stuck between what they want me to do and what I think I need.
I’m angry at them.
I’m angry at myself…for not thinking that I deserve to feel.
Tish asked me, “how do I not think about this anymore.” I felt for her because she was in that place…that nowhere place between what “they” needed and what “she” was going to allow for herself.
Moving out of the Nowhere Place can be slow or fast. It’s not about forgetting and it’s not about pretending, it’s about truly believing that you get to feel.
Feeling takes strength. So don’t put up a fuss about needing to feel, if you’re not going to go through with it.
Stop and Feel. So that you can Move out of the Nowhere Place.
Regardless of what anyone else thinks you should do.
