someone on here to think of an emotion as a wave instead of bracing for it let it pass through it.
I've had quite a few moments of emotion lately. Sometimes I don't know why I'm crying. But instead of getting afraid, wondering when it will stop, saying I wish I didn't feel like this. Instead I quietly tell myself take a moment, breath, it's okay, of course you're sad, you're saying goodbye. You're allowed to be sad right now. You're free. You're okay.
I'm going out tonight to a comedy show with friends. It will be good to get my mind off everything for a little bit. I'm also reading Codependent No More. Wow, there's a lot of me in there.
