You don't know how hard that is for me. Growing up, I was thought that showing any kind of emotion was a weakness. I was punished for crying or laughing. Atrix was the only one I was able to be myself with.

being able to show emotions..u probably do not know how much it can mean to others. a happy smile on your face can also bring a cheer to another person (internally or externally). a sad face can bring concern from those care for you. a crying face tells people of pent-up grief that the soul can no longer take. an angry or unhappy face tells people of how much you disagree with their words/actions or how inconsiderate they were towards your feelings. of course there are people who disregard such stuff, but its not ur job to focus on them.
this is jus how i go about. painful memories are diluted, not denied. happy/laughing and unhappy/sad moments are to be shared to compound & reduce respectively. crying helps to express what words cannot express. |
