I want to get deeper into my mind, to remove obstacles by getting in touch with and expressing feelings. It seems to me that when I don’t express these emotions, they act as lids, sealing off a part of my mind and diminishing my life.
Actually, I’m afraid a hell of a lot, of which I am embarrassed and ashamed. I don’t even want to admit it to myself, so I try to keep it together on the outside and lose myself doing various tasks.

Inspiration has always been a mystery to me, well that was until recently!

I often felt irritation at his lengthy emotional expressions. Today his loud train of words directed at me seemed definitely “off” and I felt angry. I said I saw him being dominating and controlling, that he was motivated by the desire to always be right, that he seemed to relish jumping on someone and taking bone-cutting shears to their chests, making them wrong in the feeling department and then “fixing” them.
