People use movies and music to learn lessons about emotions and events. That's fine, but it shouldn't be the only way you learn lessons.

Stop running from your own story. Stop waiting for those emotions to go away when you refuse to deal with them. Stop trying to hold on to the best ones while new ones are trying to be formed.

Start being the writer in your own story. Use the moments that bring up each emotion to write your own lesson. Use those moments to build, not run. Everything has a lesson if you become an active writer of your own story.

No excuses!
