This sentence from our last podcast moved me deeply.
Because it reminded me of many years when I thought I was strong just because I didn’t feel anything.
I was successful, active, constantly busy.
But inside I was empty.
I numbed my feelings – with work, distraction, sport, sometimes even with things I’m not proud of today.
Everything just to avoid feeling.
And you know what? I couldn’t help it back then. That was my survival strategy.
But there comes a point when you start to feel again. And that’s the moment when healing begins.
Today I’m talking about my feelings. Not because it’s easy – but because it’s the only thing that creates connection. Real closeness. Real life.
I hope that you might dare to take a small step today. Say a sentence that you have been holding back. Because in the end, when it’s all over, we don’t want to say:
“I wish I had had the courage to express my feelings.”
