Feelings are real tough. It required so much effort to be able to sit with it and truly peel back what I feel instead of just going "I need to stop being angry because it's not worth it"
and seems the nuance of why it's hard to face our feelings is that it is not like we can go, "okay, I am going to face my emotions today, let's go!" it isn't as straightforward as we can make more effort to dealing with them so we will yield better results. sometimes, serendipity and luck play a role as random people and things we did mindlessly might help so much help than we expected. after all, feelings are more art than science i would say, though I doubt my psychologist friends would agree:)
