Amanda Davis's post on Goodwall - Emotional intelligence isn’t something you’re born with, it’s something we are taught, and sometimes it takes until we’re adults before we’re given the opportunity to learn about emotions. Emotions get a bad rap, but they’re effective cues which our bodies and brains provide us. These are signals that we’re either enjoying ourselves and experiencing joy, and they can cure us into the fact that we could be in a dangerous situation. Emotions are so important and they’re all valid.
