Strength… or Silence?

@Ailuraphilelove8tear9

I find it hard to hold back my emotions. I cry and let it all out both in private and public situations. Sometimes I feel that people who've seen me cry might think I'm weak but in retrospect, I've realised that it only shows that I feel too deeply and that's totally okay. Those people will probably forget about it in a matter of days, months or a year? But no one cares in the long term. You have to be your own protector.

I think silence is best in some situations because not everyone needs to know our story, or are deserving of sharing in our vulnerabilities.

But when we find people we truly trust and love, it's crucial to open up, because silence only compounds the situation and makes it worse , it needs an outlet or you only turn it inward 💙

Hiding your emotions is often mistaked for strength because the actual strength is MANAGING your emotions, they're two entirely different things, but on the outside, they look the same, so you'll just look unaffected, calm, resilient, and other traits that can appear as good but they can also be signs of holding back stuff that doesn't need to be held back, emotion management can be a path like any other of learning, so crying out loud maybe isn't bad at all if it's for the real strength to appear

I feel so much better after a fry, (edit: cry, but honestly, fries too.) :p Lately I've been tearing up more readily, and I think it's been very good. Is it comfortable in the moment? No! 😆 But it lifts the heavy burden from the soul and reveals what needs to be healed, it reveals our humanity to each other, too. Don't let anyone tell u it's not okay to cry. ❤️‍🩹

You are right.

Emotional strength is not when we don't show any emotions..and hide it behind your smile or roting from within...

It is to realise life has both ups and downs and accepting it...the feelings,the thoughts,,

Every person's way of expressing emotions are different.

Some feel deeply its not a weakness.

It just accept the lows ,move forward ...

Don't fight against the thoughts..

Let the unpleasant thoughts or feeling wander just like some words..

Thoughts maybe true or false

But what we need to check if its helpful for our life ahead or keeping us behind...

Thoughts are just stories ,all stories are not real...

The more you fight emotions ut peep out more..

Let them wander without them affecting us and observe it from outside.

Emotional strength is when we move forward even with difficulties around believing ourselves

Have a great time🍃🍃🍃
