I hate grey area. I prefer when things are black or white. I like having an answer, something that is final. Even when it’s an answer that I don’t want to hear, I’d rather know now and get it over with. It’s very uncomfortable for me to sit in between two emotions... To sit between happiness for the joy in my life & sadness for the world around me. Gratitude for the blessings I have & guilt for the privilege that comes with it. Loving someone deeply but hating how they treat me. But what I’m starting to realize is that ~ life ~ is gray area. It just is! So do I want to spend my time struggling to break through to this one perfect side - of pure happiness and pure joy and pure excitement, beating myself up every time a negative emotion creeps in - when that side doesn’t even exist?! Or can I start trying to embrace the “AND” ... Happy AND Sad Grateful AND Guilty Loving AND Hating I don’t know if I can, this is my grey area. #RealPost
