Emotions... | Good or bad?

Do you ever think that you are absolutely ridiculous for feeling the way that you do?

Welcome to my world.


At bible study a while ago, everyone attending was asked to describe themselves with one word.  My one word; Emotional. It describes my whole being. Basically...how I live each day. My emotions, I admit, rule my life most of the time. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that having emotions is bad. Emotions can be good, happy even. But how often do you associate the word "emotional" with "happy"  or "joyful". . . not very often huh?! I remember being teased a lot when I was younger for being too sensitive. So in my mind this sensitivity is bad, or annoying. I have to tell you though, I feel for other people too....not only myself......and I don't know if I would call that a blessing or a curse?  It's exhausting! But at the same time, it helps me to be able to understand people and be compassionate for them, and to them.
I just don't I like being one who FEELS so much, so often. The one thing that I am sure of is that I can not change this thing about me. Not is my own strength anyways. What if this is just who I am? So, I am trying to figure out how to balance my emotions so that they don't effect me, or other people, in a negative way.  I am so sorry to anyone whom I have effected in a bad way by my out of control emotions.  And, for those who have listened and encouraged me through times when even I cant stand my self; Thank you, so much,  from the very depths of my emotional and "feel-y" being. I don't know what the purpose of this post is . . . besides maybe just venting a frustration.
I don't have a lesson here, or an answer Its a little truth about me. Rosanna ♥
