Victorian, Romance and Jane Austen

Feelings and Language

"And sometimes, I have kept my feelings to myself because I find no language to describe them in." Jane Austen

I know the feeling. When I worked in mental health, my patients would call me names and I had to walk away and not say anything to avoid trouble. I The same with my boss. I didn't want to say the wrong thing. I had to let it go. Now, since I have been baptized and closer to God, I don't want to say words God doesn't want me to, so I keep my feelings to myself. I just pray for the right words and be nice to people. I have kept the family peace for years, by not saying anything. There is no language that fits the words I feel. I really agree with Jane on this one. She had the right idea.
