Emotional Carousel

Don't wish you knew better, just do better now. Regret is a disease. Disease is a noun. Meaning to have a disorder of structure or function in a human, oh wow. I've somehow allowed this to consume my time and take away from my healing by moving forward; Eliminating the possibility of me being "just fine". I feel like I am on this emotional carousel most of the time. When I suddenly start to feel inner peace, my guilt creeps up from behind. It often feels like I won't get through this up and down ride. I quickly remember I do have a choice, I don't have to wait in that line. I don't need to focus on the feeling of remorse. I have to remember these emotions are just obstacles I need to overcome in my life's course. So just understand everyone has their emotional horse. Just learn to tame the wild outbursts that start from within. Don't wait in lines that make your heart feel like your life has to somehow be defined by the emotions you have within. Feel what you need to, and then let it go. Simply let bygones be just that, and freely your movements should flow.
