Running from Feelings
“Many of us spend our whole lives running from feelings with the mistaken belief that you cannot bear the pain. But you have already borne the pain. What you have not done is feel all that you are beyond that pain.”
Kahlil Gibran
I agree and realise this now. Hiding my feelings from myself because of the fear of pain, hoping that alcohol would make me feel less numb and more like a normal human.
