Insecurity, anxiety, shame, jealousy - even bitterness. I am no stranger to all of these bad feelings. I believe each of these, among others, fall into a bracket of emotions we often pretend we don’t have. They are not pleasant to experience, yet alone admit to harbouring them. Having felt them at such a great intensity during certain periods of my life, I coped by cultivating intricate routines and specific, rigid paths to avoid encountering them.
