Soul Ache

By Laura Palmquist

Sometimes you feel numb – numb to whatever it is going on in your life. You’re not necessarily sad or mad, but you aren’t happy either.

You feel that if you slip away and attempt to feel something, it will all get better. But it doesn’t, it never does. You’re probably sick of hearing: ‘You’re not alone, just be happy, it’ll pass, your life isn’t that bad.’ Just feel it out. Feel your pain and know that it’s ok to feel numb.

This is your permission slip to not fully know what you’re feeling, and an explanation for why you’re feeling that way.
