I get big.
I get ugly.
I make myself heard because that's a healthy boundary I'm going to establish.
So I celebrate the fact that I'm capable of anger.
I love that I can be sad.
I'm glad that I can grieve.
Oh my God.
Grief is this powerful emotion that can consume us, totally envelop us, take us to our knees.
And it's like, it's like I have a friend right now who's about ready to pass away.
Beautiful, beautiful person.
She's been great, wonderful friend in my life.
I love her.
And I will celebrate every time the wave of emotion hits me because that's how much I loved her.
That's how much I loved her.
I celebrate that I'm capable of being taken to the floor in that kind of pain and just weep my whole soul.
I mean, I'm wired for this.
This is life.
Why do I want to just put myself in a little box and say, I don't want to have grief.
I don't want to have pain.
I don't want to be mad.
