i've always tried to bury all my feelings beneath my soul, eg my fear, my anger, my emotions and everything else you'd name. sometimes i feel like as though i'm going to explode but now, i seem to be a bit lost. i don't know what i feel anymore.

Burying your feelings is never really a good idea. Because there's always a difference between facing your fear or your anger and burying it. In saying that though, it's not the best idea to put everything you feel out there. It's okay to be angry and you should vent that anger but do so in a manner that will not be harmful to others or to yourself. If you're afraid of something you shouldn't keep that buried either. You should identify exactly what makes you so afraid and find ways to cope with it instead of pretending it doesn't exist. Pretending you're not afraid isn't bravery. Admitting you're afraid and doing things in spite of that fear makes you brave.


Hiding your emotions is never a good idea either. Whether they're things you feel about yourself or about other people. But learn to express them through dialogue, writing, drawings or any other methods that can adequately express and let those who are closest to you, understand (at least) part of your struggle.


Whatever you do, don't give up hope. Everything happens for a reason, whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger and everything eventually gets better. Because though things may not be easy now, life is beautiful and we should all treasure the comforts and luxuries we take for granted, which is denied to so many others.
