The avoidance of feelings

My parents told me they weren’t raised with the question of how they feel. ‘How are you?’ doesn’t leave room for true reflection and expression of how one feels. ‘Good’ or ‘Bad’ are the descriptions we have given, as a society, to feelings. What if we started asking each other ‘how are you feeling?’ Then, we wouldn’t be alone with our feelings. It’s human nature to feel, but we’ve been taught to avoid them. Substances, social media, work, and even school serve as a distraction for deeper feelings.

Think back to a time you felt cared for, or excited, empowered, and alive. Or, when you felt sad, alone, and confused. Were you able to talk about it openly? Or did you hold it in, afraid to share your deeper feelings. As humans, we may all be on our own unique paths, but at the end of the day, we feel similar things. We want to feel a sense of belonging, love, and fulfillment. We will inevitably feel moments of sadness and loneliness. What if we could come together to feel the way we want to feel through a series of shared experiences?
