Do you actually let your feelings out in the open or do you just reign them in because nobody seems to give them importance but you?
How are you handling it?

I’ve learned to keep a majority of them to myself because of the reactions others can have to them. When my feelings aren’t shining as bright and warm as the sun, there’s this instant shift in the facial expression and body language that confirms that people don’t necessarily want the truth of how you feel about something or someone…they just want the expression of feelings that makes them feel comfortable. Gotta be copacetic these days because everyone’s already dealing with too much negativity.

@Casheyane Nope. With every moment we have to deny and swallow how we truly feel the demons within grow stronger. I’ve had to bury them for a good portion of my life so wearing a mask is no big deal for me. It’s been lowered several times though, to test if it was safe to let myself fully breathe, but more often than not it was proven not to be. Such an existence wears a person down physically, mentally, and emotionally. But you still keep trekking because you know that while it’s a hard existence, it’s one that you can make peace with along the way enough to push through without letting certain things define you or effect the happiness you’re entitled to.
