Emotions are both the destruction and the salvation of mankind. The key is healthy expression of those emotions. Love is not the only emotion I want to look at from a real life perspective, but I feel it is fitting that it is the first.
I am a great believer in self expression and would go as far as to say that it is necessary for a happy life.
What form that takes is up to you; writing, art, music, sport.. all these are valid forms of self expression and there are many more besides.
Emotions, even the good ones, can get too much when they are kept bottled-up. We are far too British at times. We don’t need to tell the world how we feel if we don’t want to, but telling ourselves would be a good place to start!
I want this page to be a kind of soapbox – feel free to express yourself about anything here.
