Marie, this post resonated and I will explain why: You see my parents are stoic - they don't get emotional easily and have a very practical approach to life - then they have me who is very emotional (I cry at the drop of a hat) - they have tried many times to tell me I need to be stronger, to be tougher...honestly, this has nothing to do with mental strength - it is powerful to be able to experience emotions, process them and let them go instead of holding it all in ....
Here's to you peeling off all the layers and getting to where you need to be (hugs) 💙
