Feeling Being

I am brittle - I am strong with the ability to break but then heal even stronger

I am a feeling creature.
I feel so much more than the average human being, I feel deeply and truly
I feel much more than most others could take

I am a vessel containing limitless possibilities
      and endless opportunities for experience

Yes, the dark feelings are heavy and dampening
      but the light feelings are powerful and uplifting.
Neither set lasts forever or even for very long
      but both are real and genuine and a result of being open to both pain and joy
Intense and divine pain and joy
      Pain that seems to destroy and kill, and
      Joy that seems to renew and revitalize.
One cannot exist without the other.

Today, I am grateful for the being I am.
Today, I have acceptance for the blessings of both extremes.

I am a raging storm. I am powerful beyond belief.
Society has inculcated me to believe my feelings are irrational and crippling.
My feeling, my being is astounding and meant to be cherished and honored.

It is a privilege, a divine privilege, to feel as much and as often and as deep as I do.
It is a tool, a right, to be who I am.
I am not a mess.
I am not a mess.
I am not a mess.
I am magnificent. I am stardust. I am boundless. I am capable of feeling not only for myself, but for multitudes of beings.
I am capable of fighting for the weak.
I am capable of speaking for the silent.
I am capable of great things, of which my human being is terrified.
      My human being is terrified of my feeling being's potential to unleash upon itself
      and the world monumental change.
Maybe the power of words will act as my steadfast effectation, maybe the decision to live for myself and the betterment of all, however seemingly small the act/choices, will be more than anyone can hope for.

It feels like it is not enough, but something is indeed better than nothing.
