Why is it so hard to express what we feel?

The art of expressing.

Hello, I’m wishing for ya a kinder sea. I hope you’re living in one of the best moments of your life, and if not, then at least surviving it with grace. I’m kinda excited about this article because, honestly, I’m pouring my heart into it.

Sometimes I hate myself for being too obvious with my emotions. And honestly? It happens most of the time. There’s always some sort of subtitle on my face. Whether I’m happy, sad, tired, or just done with everything, people can tell. Like, really tell. Even the blind could probably see it.

And I’ve always found that weird. Why is it so obvious to everyone? Why can’t I just hide it like others do?

I used to think it was a curse. But slowly, I’m starting to see it from another side. Maybe, just maybe, it’s a blessing too.

Because I’ve met people who can’t express their emotions at all. Whether they’re in love, or hurting, or even if they want to say sorry, they just can’t. Not because they don’t feel it, but because they don’t know how to pour it out.

You know, I once saw someone sit silently while their whole world was falling apart inside. Not a single word, not a single sign.
And I thought: Damn, that must be so heavy to carry alone.

So if you’re someone who walks around with subtitles written across your face. I want to say: it’s okay. Seriously.

Because expressing is an art, and not everyone learns how to master it.

(There’s a thin line between expressing and overexpressing)

And for the one who masters the art of pretending, please, whatever is in your head, bumping around like a trapped thought, let it out. Say it.
To your friend.
Your sister.
Your brother.
To anyone who feels safe.

The longer it stays inside your head, the heavier it gets.

Let your heart breathe. You’re allowed to express. You deserve to.

Also, just a little fun fact: you can clap up to 50 times on a single Medium article. So, if you enjoyed this one, don’t hold back!
