We are not okay with pretending to feel okay, and we are not okay with holding on for one more day like Wilson Phillips told us to. #2 I was a ten-year-old middle child in Minnesota who was fascinated by the adult world. I dreamed up a solution to help my cousin, who was a quadriplegic, drink water during late-night hours. #3 Your emotions serve an essential function in connecting you to what is important. They signal a need, and each one is informing you of what you value and hold dear. Thus, it is important to recognize and respond to your emotions. #4 It’s time for us to get really honest with ourselves. We must change our tune and put on a little Aretha. We must recognize that happiness should not and will not always be our final destination.
