Yeah we all have them, more times than not I hate mine. Being someone who likes to be in control of every aspect of my life outside the bedroom (there I like to be dominated...TMI maybe) its extremely hard to come to grips with the fact that no matter how tough you are, feelings are something that you will never be able to control. The control solely lies in how we react because of those feelings. Here are some thoughts to ponder regarding feelings.

You can close your eyes to the things you do not want to see, but you cannot close your heart to the things you do not want to feel.
~Unknown

Feelings are not supposed to be logical. Dangerous is the man who has rationalized his emotions.
~David Borenstein

The deepest feeling always shows itself in silence; not in silence, but restraint.
~Marianne Moore

Feelings are much like waves, we can't stop them from coming but we can choose which one to surf.
~Jonatan Mårtensson

You cannot make yourself feel something you do not feel, but you can make yourself do right in spite of your feelings.
~Pearl S. Buck

So many times in life we take advantage of people's feelings because society breeds us to be selfish. Maya Angelou reminds you how to keep a handle on that.

"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."

So I'm going to try to be more conscious of how my actions may make people feel. I can't promise rapid changes but life is a growing process and the first step to change is recognition.
