Your Feelings Are Valid Novels & Stories

"And what can be done?" "Nothing…for now. Naturally, Nox is supposed to root them out and face them but that would be messy and he doesn't want to make it about himself." "I see." I swallowed, before turning back my focus on Nox again. "Hey Nox, it's me again." I said down the link between us. " It's okay. Everything you're feeling is okay. Your feelings are valid. Now, let it go." Nox's hand tightened around mine, causing me to gasp and as I looked up at him, his face was the mask of terrifying anger.

"I'm okay." "Just okay?" I sigh and lean my head back. "It's stupid." "Your feelings aren't stupid. Your feelings are valid. But what are they? Let's talk it out. You know better than to keep it bottled up. That's how you ended up here." "Okay, okay," I acquiesce, knowing she's right. I learned that about myself at the conference… that I brush things under the rug when they make me uncomfortable. Emotions. Insecurities. Gut feelings that my husband is cheating on me. I like to avoid it all, which is neither healthy nor helpful.

"I just can't shake off these feelings. I feel so angry and confused." Lara poured me a cup of tea and sat down beside me. "I know it's hard, but you can't let him get to you like this. You're better than that." Her words were comforting, but they couldn't erase the pain I was feeling. "I know, but it's just so hard sometimes. He has a way of making me feel like I'm worthless." Lara reached out and placed a hand on my shoulder. "You're not worthless. You're strong, beautiful, and capable of so much more than he'll ever realize."

I felt like the flow of blood was rushing to my cheek as they turned crimson. He stood in front of me and I felt like my heart was gonna leap out of my chest. When the creaking sound of his walk ended, the sound of my loud and rapid breath filled the room. “Um, if you are not fine then I won’t.” That moment, a spark emerged from my soul and evoked a sensation of desire in me as the urge to pull him close to me rose . Protesting my feelings, I remain motionless. “I.. Um. maybe you don’t like-” I continued to stutter until he cut me off.

I don't know how to feel, relieved or angry or happy. She lets go of my hand, slipping off the bed, but her attention stays trained on me. "Say what you feel and don't hold back." She tells me, planting herself next to me on the floor beside the bed. "Whatever you feel, you have the right to feel it. And if anger is a fraction of that, don't suppress it, let it out." Loud footsteps come padding in, followed by another pair of equally loud ones and my heart picks up in speed as Declan comes into full view. My breath hitches.

"And then, well, it still has an impact, though so far it is clear to me that she really has a thing about knowing herself first. You see, the point of telling your feelings to someone who means to you and then they will reject you in their most humane way... In the end, you will still feel pathetic yourself." "I never felt pathetic hearing all these things from you. It is about how you deal with what or who you want. I am praying for your attention but I have no plan of...forcing you...you see it is how you manage yourself, you will only feel down or inferior when you make yourself to, and my advice is, don't let them make you feel that way, you like Amber yes, you even love her but don't l

I'm just terrified to leave and I don't need anyone judging me for shit that they just can't understand. To Gianna💓: We just got into a little argument and my feelings got hurt that's all. But I'm okay now, I was prob just being over dramatic. From Gianna💓: Over dramatic?? I doubt that, ur feelings are always valid. What did he say to make you run away crying tho? I feel a small smile start to tug on my lips as I read over Gianna's message. Gianna is always so encouraging when it comes to my mental and emotional state. I appreciate her for always trying to make me feel heard.

I didn't expect he would respond that way... All my life I've always been misunderstood. All my life I felt like my feelings were invalid, and for reacting to certain things is not a normal thing to do. I have never been cared for. My opinions and my feelings were not validated. They are all useless and nonsense. But Khein did not let me feel even a bit of those feelings I was already used to. He showed me that reacting that way was normal and valid, he apologized, and respected my need to have a silent moment by myself.

Gabe asked as he looked at me. “No, Gabby, that doesn’t make you pathetic, not one damn bit. It tells me how much you like him,” I said, “but you need to like yourself too. I was excited at the thought you might be getting back out there but I don’t want you doing something that’s going to hurt you. I want you to value yourself and your feelings. I hate seeing you sad, it physically hurts me.”

“You never hurt me. My feelings for you belong to me, not something you need to worry about.” “I-I just...” “No, you can't hold yourself responsible for what others feel. That's stupid, Kat.”
