Shout out to society for encouraging people to be who they are, love who they love and feel what they feel and then make them feel terrible for doing so
Society lives in contradiction and hypocrisy
When you live authentically, it's a crime
When you cry, it's a crime
When you aren't happy, it's a crime
When you're angry, it's a crime
It's a crime to feel any emotion that isn't pleasant
It's a crime to operate with emotions
Its taboo
People love to say that they're just not "emotional"
They give excuses such as "Ive always been this way"
Emotions are NATURAL
Nobody teaches anybody to feel , it just happens
When you exit your mother's womb, nobody teaches you to cry
You already know how
As a child when you don't get your way nobody teaches you how to get angry and throw fits
You already know how
Emotions are naturally within you
Nobody can teach you how to feel
But
People do teach others not to feel
People do teach others to disconnect from their feelings
They teach people to suppress what they feel and consider it "normal"
Being emotionless is a learned behavior
On the contrary, being emotionless is actually not normal
So when you find yourself feeling ,
LET YOURSELF FEEL
There won't be a consequence for feeling
You don't have to feel ashamed
Yes, Society is going to judge you and label you
That's inevitable
Society equates emotions to weakness
And that will forever be false
Emotions give you strength
You can either choose to live by your own standards or society's standards
Most fall victim and conform to society to avoid humiliation
But to those who choose to live by their own rules
Those who rebel against social norms
You're truly brave
You are phenomenal
