Hi @lynncoyle1, sorry for the late reply. Thank you so much for reading!
Yeap, distractions are keeping us away from connecting to our cores. And when we connect, we discover something else.
You get my idea about "cave in"! Words like "Cheer up", "It's okay", "don't be sad" are subtle mind conditioning that shapes us to keep our feelings and never show it, which someday we'll explode. I like the way you said "feel and analyze", that's like being emotionally logical, or logically emotional :)
No problem, I want to play a part in shaping a good quality Steemit community too :)
