A short YouTube monologue (by Elay Amitay Halevi) encouraging acceptance of negative emotions. The speaker gives permission to "feel like shit," urges listeners to express and sit with their emotions instead of running from them, and frames working through inner struggles as a path to uncommon strength and richer life. The message emphasizes self-respect, shared experience, and the transformative potential of facing one's "inner demons."
If you feel like shit, it's okay. I'm giving you permission to feel like shit. Let yourself vent it out. Let yourself scream it out. Let yourself riot out. And whatever you do, don't run from it, because that's how you stay trapped from it. I promise you, those of you who have the courage to invite your inner demons to the table and sit with them and allow them to be there, going through this stuff is making you stronger than most people. Going through this stuff is allowing you into a life that most people will never have. So respect your path and respect whatever is coming up for you. And know that you are not alone in it.
