( Mr ) Fred Rogers – Feelings

“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.”

Fred Rogers

Jessie Willcox Smith – from, A Childs Garden of Verses by Robert Louis Stevenson, 1905.

Sadness

While reading a book i found this Irish words “Ta Bron Orm”. That means “Sadness is on me”. instead of saying “I am sad”. I love that because you don’t identify yourself with the emotion fully. “Ta Bron Orm” it’s just like sadness is on me.. for a while. You feel sad, but that is not you. Sadness is just there sitting but eventually it’ll leave. And the next day or two, something else will be there for you. That will be not sadness anymore. But something else. You are a person and your emotions are not you. You are not a prisoner of them.
