Why Feelings Matter, A Reflection at 25

In my twenty-fifth year, I’ve come to understand that life is profoundly shaped not just by what we often deem as rationality, but by the emotions hidden within. These feelings, swirling quietly beneath the surface, are the true guides of our existence. This realization has unfolded slowly, much like the dawn breaking after a long night, shedding light on the intricate dance between heart and mind that defines us. As I navigate this dance, I’m learning to heed not only the loud echoes of my thoughts but also the whispering pulses of my feelings, finding in them a compass for navigating the uncharted territories of life.
