Afraid of expressing.

This feeling we get before we reveal our true emotions to another person is just killer. Because we planned everything exactly how it’s supposed to be, and what we’re supposed to say, but then.. when you’re in the moment.. your mind just goes blank. And it’s frustrating. It’s frustrating because you’re trying to get a hold of your life, and you’re trying to control it, but you can’t. You can’t control human emotion; you can’t control reaction.

I, too, was cautious of expressing my emotions and what I felt. I was scared to show them because I was concerned for the judgment of others, thinking I’d be “weak.” but then, as an inspiring person told me:

“Why are you scared of expressing your emotions? It doesn’t mean you’re weak; it means you’re strong enough to show that you don’t care how others will perceive you for being you. And if they don’t like it.. they can just fuck off. At least you’re content in knowing that you’re in a place where free will isn’t something to be ashamed of.”

I’m really lucky to have such wonderful mentors in my life, aren’t I?
