There were so many times I was asked by thyself to believe in me. I got these confirmations from my feelings. Which I am starting to rely more and more everyday. Feelings are there for me to carve out my path in my life. It does not matter what the feelings are, they are simply there for me to recognize them and to never have to justify them or explain them to anyone. They are just that my feelings. I have been caught up in the rabbit hole in certain instances of explaining myself to a so-called friend or family member. In my experience, this was the first person to invalidate my feelings even though I may have not been wanting any feedback. I just needed a listening ear. In that instant, the thoughts would cross my mind to believe my own feelings and not express them to anyone. For whatever reason the person who I was sharing my feelings with may have believed in their mind I was not entitled to feel the things I was expressing. I also learned some people shy away from their feelings and do not acknowledge their own.

Also in expressing feelings, I have experienced so called friends, or trusted people of the community. attempt to give me advice that did not serve me in any way. In that moment, it let me know the person was not to be trusted with good news, or even advice when it came to sharing any kind of info. In sharing those feelings, it let me know the person was jealous of the way I derived at conclusions and wanted me to need their less than helpful advice to keep me in a bad situation.

This lesson had been presented to me on several occasions until I got the blessing in the lesson. Feelings are not for you to share with people who do not trust their own feelings. It does not matter if the person is a close family member, family friend, pastor, or even a teacher, anyone is liable to give bad advice. The blessing in the lesson is to always trust my feelings, gut, intuition, or discernment. Whatever I may feel in the moment below the surface despite what I am being told from a persons mouth, I have to believe what my spirit is telling me in the moment. It comes trough in the moment for a reason, so my job is to trust it and let it be my guide. Believe.
