Feel Your Season

I don't know where it happens. I don't know when it happens.

But somewhere along the lines we're taught to stay even keel, level, neutral. 

Don't get too high. Don't get too low. Stay right in the middle. 

Because if you get too high, you're bound to have your heart broken.

And if you get too low, you're bound to spin to dark places you may not return.

I'm here to say, NO.

We have feelings, because we are meant to feel them. What is the point of this human experience if you don't feel your feelings? 

Pain. Passion. Rage. Happiness. Laughter. Desire. Desperation.

We're supposed to experience it all.

Everyone is facing personal seasons of their life and it's like there are little voices always telling other people not to feel what they're feeling in their season. 

Don't get too excited. WHY? Why can't I get giddy and freak out with HAPPINESS, even if it vanishes into thin air within 24 hours. I felt it. It was mine for that 24 hours. 

When a happy moment, event, season comes your way. Take it. Don't be scared of the length of its stay. It's yours, now. Feel it, soak in the gleam of it, and pass it on to others. 

Because, the thing about seasons is, they always change. That's why you have to take the summers while they're hot, because right around the corner is a desperate winter. Just waiting for you. It's waiting to steal your jacket and numb your bones. It's waiting to convince you there is no such thing as warmth. It's waiting to leave you out in the cold, hopeless. 

There are highs and lows, winters and summers for us all. Don't be so afraid of the good times. When it's your turn to feel the warmth; feel it. Soon enough, you'll be back in the cold.
