Express What You Feel

Its not always that humans say what they intend to say to each other.
Some write their mental scripts of what they will say to the other person

when the opportunity presents itself.  They find when they are face to face 
with the person, all they wanted to say becomes a phantasm.
How can this be? Especially with family and friends, those we say we love
and cherish, those who consider our relationship with them of much value.

How can this be?  You care, but you cannot express yourself openly and
honestly? What a shame, and still, how can this be? 


Expressing what one feels should be the simplest exercise, however, the
inability to express what one is feeling is a most difficult task- reason 
being-  failure to express feelings is the result of being far removed internally
from the character one presents to the world. Some characterizes it 
as living a lie.  This is the source of all drama in relationships:
trying to maintain an external persona that is not a copy

of one's internal image.  Fear is the culprit behind such false external images.
Some say its just a game humans play.  This subect of fear is
for futher discussion another day. 
 So how does one handle self expression?


 Poets and song writers have an uncanny way of observing and scribing
 human emotions.  Often, they express what others cannot say or refuse to say.
 The following example is from a song.

"You know that I love you,
that I love you, but distance is in
between us, I can't forget your
face and your picture is my
saviour, I'm coming to get you.
----------------------
Ask, what do I want/need  to discuss with someone else?
Must I seek clarity by having others elaborate what they are saying to me?
What are some difficulties that we must deal with? Verbalize them.
Do we need to look at the matter from different perspectives?
What ever one must do to express emotions and thoughts, then do!




 Think for a moment the last time you had something to say and

could not, would not say it. What stopped you?  Your emotions surfaced but then
they were suppressed;  why?  You be the difference in your relationships
by being open, honest and truthful to self and others. Share with others the
character inside, not the "broken" one you resolved to be externally.
This act eliminates false characters. It also fills you with courage, allowing
you to embrace your emotions.If you need a guide to aid in expressing
what you feel, then, listen to some music or read poetry, get yourself back on track
and express yourself; you'll be glad you did.
