Feeling Intensely

Anyone who really knows me and has known me for a long time, knows I wear my heart on my sleeve.
All my feelings are intense, I'm nothing but jokes and laughter during the happy moments, and when I'm upset I cry and worry.
When I love someone or something I care a lot about its every little detail.
I am a firm believer in seeing and understanding the big picture in all situations in life.
I used to beat myself for "being so emotional" about everything. But that's just who I am, and I am not afraid of it anymore.
I just express it all because thinking I should change that about myself was a mistake just as much as it was to think there was something wrong with me.
It's a matter of finding the things that bring me peace, and calm the intensity.
Things that bring me joy and make me smile. I am not a hurtful person, I do not use or abuse people, I am not dishonest nor do I betray those I love and care about.
I do the opposite in fact; I pour my love, passion, and all of my intense feelings into those things I care about and try to enjoy every moment I have alive.
Everyone has emotions, it's dealing with them in whatever way works for you that will set you apart.
Do something with your feelings, don't just feel them, but find a way to productively get them out.
Knowing your outlets can help replace negative emotions with positive ones.
