The badside of being EMO

I can't believe that I'm writing this one... I'm a self-confessed emo... and I love being emo... being emo let's you speak out of what you really feel... no pretension... and you're just being yourself. Being emotional is our way of expressing of what we really feel on a person, thing, or situation.

Now here's the dilemma, being emo is good but over reacting on being an emo is definitely a NO! NO! and I'm guilty on doing that... I've been there... and it kills me...

There are lots of badside on being too much emotional, I've listed down a few;

1) Yes you have no pretension, but sometimes you fantasize on such situations that at first it will make you think its completely normal but its not... you're creating a world on where you turn the real world into upside down world... (e.g. when a girl says "no"... you still hang on your faith that someday she's gonna be yours, but in reality it will never happen)

2) Being too much emotional might hinder God's plan for you, coz you rely too much on your faith, wherein in reality God is telling you to stop, coz He have much better plans for you.

"Many are the plans in a man's heart,
but it is the LORD's purpose that prevails." Proverbs 19:21

Sometimes we tend to rely "subconsciously" on our plan but we have to remember that it is God's purpose that always prevail.

3) We might hurt the other party by imposing her your own rules and not God's rules on both of you

4) You rely too much on false hope wherein in the end you're just hurting yourself more.

5) Depression! Need not to explain much further on this...

Over-reacting on being emo only enables the evil schemes to rule in your life...

"The scoundrel's methods are wicked,
he makes up evil schemes
to destroy the poor with lies,
even when the plea of the needy is just." Isaiah 32:7

It hinders God's glory on your life... it defiles all the positive things that keeps you going...

The Cure:
As Paul had said to the Church in Ephesus...

"Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes." Ephesians 6:11

We need to always stand firm and put on the full armor of God for us to stay always on guard on such evil schemes on being too much emo on such situations, people, and things.

Instead of depending too much on our being emo... we should depend too much on God's plan and revelation to us... We should trust him more rather than trusting our own instincts...

"Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make your paths straight." Proverbs 3:5-6

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."Matt. 11: 28-30
