Emotions make us human, denying them makes us
beasts. — Victoria Klein
As a human, we’re meant to feel all kind of emotions like joy, fear,
surprise, sadness, disgust, anger etc. And the feelings that you yourself are
afraid to acknowledge are the most important ones in moulding your perception
about life and behaviour with others. As a child, we’re open about feelings but
as we grow older we hide them thinking that sharing them (even with the people
you love) will reflect weakness on our part. We start pretending to be strong,
calm and confident all the time, and we try to bottle up our emotions as if
it’s somehow wrong to have natural reactions to life. Even though we know that
emotions come and go and can’t be controlled so there’s no reason to worry
about them but still we move in the cave of solitude with so much left unsaid
and so many feelings buried inside. And by the time we realize it, we think
it’s too late and we start questioning will those words/feelings matter
now or what if the other person won’t acknowledge them and then there is always
that part of our ego stopping us. And believe me, once the opportunity is lost; we’re
the culprit and we’re the victim at the same time. Silence is not the answer
when the situation demands us to speak out. So, I’ll suggest you to start talking
about it because talking puts words to feelings and allows us to share what’s
happening in our minds and let others into our worlds. Telling somebody that
you are sad can take some of the sadness away and sharing joy will add more
joy. It eases the burden of feeling like the entire world is on our shoulders when in reality that couldn't be farther from the truth, even if there isn't an
immediate solution to what we are feeling, sharing these emotions with someone has a tremendous positive impact on our mind and heart.
