Before answering the question I would like to share with you part of my story ... I am a mother of three children Raymar, Rannya and Rubén. I mention them because they do not currently live with me because I am separated from their father. It should be noted that my answer to the question made by @ecotrain has to do with one of my main problems: the absence of my children.
I was a person who lived from the appearance above all, both in the family and in the prejudice of society. I never took care of myself for being aware of the judgment of others and for doing what others liked. Since I got married I dedicated myself completely to my married life and when I became a mother even more. When I decided to start my new horizon, I decided to take a trip to an unknown place ... This is how I called the new stage of my life. To have separated from my husband for many was to commit the worst mistake of my life. What many do not know was that my arms could no longer hold my emotions, my disappointments, my sorrows ... and as always so as not to affect my children I always kept silent about everything that hurt me.
Do our emotions díctate our lives or do our lives díctate our emotions?
¡OUR EMOTIONS DICTATE OUR LIFE!
That is my answer. We are human beings that instead of thanking God because we have the privilege of living every day, we are determined to live in competition or thinking of living according to our financial condition, pending a commercial brand or a trend. To live only to acquire goods or live according to prejudice is not to live ... it is to depend. Our happiness should not depend on what we have or would like to have. Truthfully, I tell you that everything affects me emotionally. My family, those I considered friends and all those around me, all they have done is criticize me until the last movement ...
Finally, I comment on the following. In the first days of April 2019 I got sick, I had a severe respiratory infection. Several treatments and did not give the infection. Every day my health was worse until the Pneumonologist grabbed me by the arms and said: "If you do not do your part and decide that you are going to continue living ... no one is going to be for you". It was when I got the courage to move forward. Just because I thought about tomorrow so I could see my children again.
In fact, emotions can go so far as to take away peace, health and even life itself.
Friends readers, as a reflection, I tell you never to stop loving each other ... just for pretending something or simply for keeping up appearances ...
