Excerpt from 'The Human, Uncensored'

"Pain that gets buried and not dealt with appropriately can lead to self-destruction. You must address your pain in order to cope. Unaddressed pain, sadness or anger are sort of like weeds, if you don't tend to them, they start to take over. You can try and suppress them all you want, but what you suppress will progress. And into something far worse typically. So pleas know that it's okay to cry, and it's equally okay to be okay when you are okay. It's just about balance. Let yourself fully feel whatever emotion it is that you are feeling, for the sake of your heart. You're only human. And life is turbulent, but ever changing, as are we. And change, however drastic, and life-altering as it can be at times, can be a good thing, if we embrace it rather than running from it. I've seen some of the most beautiful souls emerge from from the deepest pain. So if you're out there right now, hurting.... you are NOT alone, and you ARE going to be alright. You just have to let yourself.... BE." - Brianna Colleen Carey © December 16, 2014 (Excerpt from 'The Human, Uncensored')
