Paint a song for me.

Being emotional does not equal to being weak

This post is for all the girls, and guys, out there that are, somewhat like me. We're emotional people, and all emotional in a different way. Some of us cry, some of us have mood swings, some get more affected by issues around and immerse in them but the bottom line is, most of us are emotional; some of us more, and some less.

Personally I fall into the, 'pretty emotional' range. Yes, I cry alot. Just not around people. To me, crying is a form of release, a way of expressing feelings that I'm unable to put into words. Almost like how babys express their feelings; just in a more, controlled manner.

So, here's the controversial idea of how crying and expressing your feelings openly would only be justified if you were referred to as weak.

I was brought up with this concept in my head, I mean, my mum's a really strong woman, or she has grown up to be. So I have been taught since young that in order to be strong, I have to mask my feelings and stop crying. Sadly, it kinda never worked.

That whole process of growing up set me thinking; does crying really make me weaker? And would not crying make my life more, successful in any way?

Honestly, I think it doesn't really matter what you do to, relief yourself of the emotional torment and agony of the moment but what you do after; making things better, fixing the issues and moving on.

So don't come telling me crying's weak, cos' it's been keeping me from depression and all that follows with oppressed emotions.



P.S.: Sorry to all that have been trying to reach me via my cell cos' I've actually got it turned off. I'm gonna stay offline too as I'm feeling a tad PMS-ish and I'm gonna stay in isolation. Mood swings never got so bad.
