Hopefully I remember…

During the past several days I have learned how important it is for me to pour out all the mess that tends to float around in my heart and mind…

And honestly you would think that I would know that as an external processor, but so often I forget that I can’t stuff the things that are truly bothering me…

And there is something so refreshing and freeing about saying, yelling, or screaming out the things that are bothering me in an empty car when my thoughts are consuming me…

Car worship concerts are also pretty refreshing and freeing…

I have some of my most therapeutic moments in a solo car ride…

But why do I seem to keep forgetting to stop holding on to the very things that are weighing me down?

Why do I forget that failing to acknowledge my pain will not make it any less real or make it go away?

I don’t have the answer to either of those questions, but in this moment I feel freer than I have felt in a while…

So hopefully I remember the importance of pouring out…
