emotional & strong.

"you're in touch with your emotions,
and that's a good thing",
she said.

but on the other hand,
she implied that I should
tone
it
down.

that i should change,
work on my emotions,
that perhaps,
i just was too emotional.

however,
i am instead,
coming to a place of acceptance.
that yes,
i am an emotional person
and that's okay.

i can be emotional,
and still act wisely.
i can be emotional,
and still make good decisions from a logical point of view.
i can be emotional,
and still be strong.

stop implying that i should change,
when experiencing things deeply
is
just
the
way
i
am.
