"You can feel bad if it makes you feel better." (lyrics from a country song)
In an earlier article I talked about how emotions can be indicators of something that needs to be dealt with. But in some cases, emotions are not indicating something that needs to be addressed, but rather are highlighting an experience that you're having and are fully present to.
A very important friend of mine is moving away, to the east coast to live at the beach (her lifelong dream). Last night we had a "farewell/launch" dinner for her, and when we embraced to say goodbye, we both were sad and crying.
