Spontaneous Emotions

I woke up this morning feeling a bit off. I drank some beer last night, which I don't normally do. Okay so maybe this isn't so spontaneous 😅

The feeling I had upon waking up was something like empty, numb, pointless. I wasn't sure why these feelings were there, but all I knew was that I should treat this the same way as if a child were feeling this way. It's possible to talk to this child.

"Hey bro, I'll be here to listen to whatever you wish to share. And no rush okay?"

The child nodded his head like saying okay, and didn't say anything else. However, just knowing that I was there to have his back helped the child to feel better. As I write this, I can feel this child feel even more supported.

Thinking back now, drinking alcohol was not a healthy choice for me to make.

Now I can feel the child saying: "Can you take better care of me?"

And I reply: "For sure bro, that was my bad. Can you forgive me?"

The child says: "Yes."
