I'm so glad you wrote this. I think that "bucking up" and forcing oneself to suppress and DENY our FEELINGS is certainly not self loving!! Until I started allowing the flow of my negative emotions I was unable to heal. And I'm VERY good at suppressing and "bucking up" :-p

I feel like you've done a very very loving thing by sharing this, to those and to others. By accepting where you are,

I always felt a huge emptiness from the simple Law of Attraction style and found an open, human, loving perspective in some of the thing Teal Scott shares. I have no interest in pushing my views on anyone or handing you a "solution". I just thought that you might find something worth while there :-) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVShM00qQ80

Thank you so much for writing this. Despite the fact that every single person who reads this will have a somewhat different experience, I think probably everyone can relate to some aspect of this. Thank you for sharing so deeply of yourself. You are a wonderful writer, a beautiful soul and I send you so much love. <3
