I do! And I'm getting it all out now! It feels so good to s**t my s**t instead of keeping it in to fester inside of me! Gross, lol, but true. Embarrassing moments, reasons why I said or did what I said or did, tragic misunderstandings, people's anger and disgust and depression being taken out on me and making me depressed... I'm getting it all out, and making a mess all over the board maybe, but this board is a toilet and we all have to s**t sometime, so I guess it's okay! *waits for someone to come along and "s**t" as well and then "flush it" with reassuring words of how now they got it out*

I used to have more emotional baggage then I do now. It got so heavy to lug around, I started dropping bags of it off on the trail of life, and once when I wanted to board the plane to higher consciousness, I had to jetisen a huge duffle bag of grudges and resentments, as it was way over the weight limit! :lol:

Yes, infinite amounts and it is taking a lot of time, pain and work to deal with it all.
Not to mention a lot of rejections by those who decide that the person is not worth putting up with the baggage. :lol:

I took a few bags of mine and set them on fire on certain people's doorsteps and rang the doorbell and ran. Boy did that feel good! :twisted:

I have a storage unit for mine. Some days I go in an rearrange it.

I don't know what would happen if I let the lease lapse. Probably wander the earth more than I do now.

Mine erupts in little volcanos on people. Then it's all out there and has to be dealt with- me and the person in question. Then there's a peaceful silence after the storm. Unfortunately this is the only way I can really say what's on my mind when something's been bothering me.

At work, my boss knows this about me and is quite tolerant and accepting of this way that I communicate. So I'm trying to meet her halfway and not let the s**t simmer for so long.

What's emotional baggage? I really don't know... I don't think I have any.

Is there a place where I can purchase some... perhaps for a trial basis?

Do you mean emotions that you keep inside of you and never let out?

If you mean that then yes I do. But not nearly as much as I used to.

I think you might be thinking of the term "bottling up emotions", which is different.

You must have a great boss. I tend to let it fester, and then if it ever gets out it explodes like a gigantic zit . I should just get it out early, as you say.

Yeah, she can be okay at times. She knows a lot about me and why I'm such a nutcase. Maybe that's good, maybe not!
