THE INSPIRATION
"In My Feelings" is a simple poem of reflection after a relationship ends. Aren't we all in our feelings after a break-up? Our feelings take on a different tune when we are the one wronged in the relationship.
I wrote "In My Feelings" on September 3, 2020 but I really couldn't tell you much about that day. It was a Thursday and I apparently was grappling with my sentiments about my ex and all that he had done. So I did what I usually do; I expressed myself in writing.
The odd thing is that when I read this poem today I cannot relate to it. "Feelings of worthlessness"? I have never truly believed that I was worthless. "I wish I had known"? Not really. I don't need to know the future to enjoy and appreciate the blessings and teachings of the present. I lived and I loved and here I am. I am exactly where and who I want to be.
This poem for me is exactly why every day I track my feelings using The Grace & Gratitude Journal*. My feelings may or may not make sense when I'm in them, but my beliefs need to be congruent with the truth. Moods are fleeting and temporary, however, if they go unrecognized then they become part of our story; a narrative that may not even make sense to us. Life should always make sense. Be in your feelings and respect them, but believe the truth.
*The Grace & Gratitude Journal; a tool to help you practice kindness and thankfulness towards yourself and others will be available soon!
