“Everyone is different and their feelings aren’t the same
And what you feel is who you are, it’s something you must claim.
Try to walk in someone’s shoes to see how they might feel.
For though you cannot see them, feelings are still strong and real.”
Libby Walden
“My heart is full of feelings. Big feelings and small feelings. Loud feelings and quiet feelings. Quick feelings and slow feelings. My heart is like a house with all these feelings living inside.”
Jo Witek
“Everyone gets stuck with a difficult feeling or lets fizzy feelings explode. But remember that difficult feelings do pass and it’s ok to ask for help if you need it. Dealing with feelings gets easier the more you talk about them.”
Felicity Brook and Frankie Allen
“Of all these many feelings
Love is strongest through and through.
It swells up in my heart
When I cuddle close with you.”

Anything that’s human is mentionable, and anything that is mentionable can be more manageable. When we can talk about our feelings, they become less overwhelming, less upsetting, and less scary. The people we trust with that important talk can help us know that we are not alone.
