🪷Owning Your Emotional Truth: You’re Allowed to Feel Deeply
You’ve spent years softening your words, instead of owning your emotional truth.
You made yourself smaller—
quieter, easier to hold—
just so no one else would feel too much.
But your feelings are not too much.
They are not wrong.
They are not inconvenient.
In fact, they are yours.
And they are real.
Sometimes, truth doesn’t come out loud.
It arrives as a quiet ache in the chest.
Or as the lump in your throat that won’t leave.
Even so, today, let that truth be a kind of softness.
Let honesty become a place you can finally live inside.
Because, you’re allowed to feel everything:
Even the anger.
Even the grief.
Even the hope.
And especially the part of you that never needed to apologize for having a heart.
Why Emotional Truth Still Heals
We often shape ourselves to protect others from discomfort.
We learn to filter what’s real.
However, healing doesn’t ask you to explain everything.
It just asks you to trust what’s already true.
So instead of hiding it again, ask:
What truth have I been holding back—not because it wasn’t real, but because I thought it would make others uncomfortable?
Let that truth return to your body.
Let it be allowed.
That, too, is part of owning your emotional truth.
