54. Mixed Emotions

I like to imagine that emotions are different flavors we get to taste throughout our day – some are bitter or sour, while others are sweet and delicious. And while sometimes we get a full serving of one specific emotion, other times we “taste” many emotions all at once, and the unexpected combination feels strange or confusing. But feeling mixed emotions isn’t a problem. All of the emotions in your emotional concoction are allowed. They all have a place. They’re all valid. So let’s be willing to try out these seemingly odd blends, and discover the new, richer flavors available to us.
