Never Apologize

"Never apologize for showing feeling.

When you do so, you apologize for the truth."

Benjamin Disraeli

We cannot help how we feel. If we swallow our emotions, our bodies store them in darkness, squeezing them together until they inappropriately erupt.  And of course our first response is, "Oh, I am so sorry!"  

Emotions portray our truth and although we are  not always able to immediately display our feelings, they must be addressed within a matter of time.  We can share how we feel with friends, creative expression, counseling or by screaming into a pillow.  

Feelings that we ignore on the mental level shift to the physical level to the point of creating disease within the body.  If we continue to ignore our emotions, they eventually present themselves in our dreams, often times as nightmares.  Never apologize for displaying despair, ecstasy, or empathy as it is an honest reflection of our beautiful self.
