Emotions 02

Emotions 02 

Barbara Thomas 

When you are young, growing up, there could be a mixture of emotions.

Not wanting to go to school in case the bully is there today, emotion fear.

Teenage years, 1st boyfriend, girlfriend, finding out that person doesn’t want to see you anymore for a girl tears, for a boy hidden tears materializing in anger.

That’s what emotions are to so many people: 

Happy

Sad

Depressed

In love

Out of love

Bewildered

Marriage

Birth of a child

Menopause

Birth of grandchildren and great grandchildren.

End of a relationship

Divorce

Loss of a partner

Grieving

 

As you grow up you try to come to terms with all your emotions good/bad.

We live in a country that doesn’t encourage Emotions; best keep a stiff upper lip, in case you offend. 

As old age creeps up on you the Emotions felt are overwhelming, loss of partner, siblings, family friends.

But on a happier note the birth of your grandchildren and their children, your great grandchildren. 

It’s a battle with a world that has no place for emotions and when you reach a certain age then you become invisible.
