As we grow up we are taught by different people in our life how we are supposed to handle our emotions. That we should show our every emotion, that we should hold it all up inside so no one knows, that we should show only certain people our emotions. Which one are we supposed to choose? As we get older we figure out how to read our emotions, we decide who we can trust enough to share them with, who we can't share anything with, and which emotions are an okay thing to share with people.
Some of us wear our emotions on our sleeves, others keep it locked up inside and sometimes we have a mixture of both. We share the emotions that we know people are expecting us to and other times we snap and we can't keep our mask as tight as we want it to and we can't keep our mask up all the way and then we lose it. We lose all of it, we let every single emotion running out of us all at once. We see red, we swear, we shake and after a while every little thing that happens; Every whisper, every rumor, every look sends us into panic mode, and sends us to anger in the speed of Moch 5 and we don't know what to do, we don't know how to handle ourselves any longer we don't know what we arent supposed to do and we don't know what is going to happen but in the long run it doesn't matter. In the long run we realize that we need to put our mask back on, get over it and tighten all our laces that keep our mask on and keep going.
Sometimes people in our lives make a larger deal out of things then need be. We do things that people think we need to do during the current situation but Mark Twain hit the nail on the head when he said : "Any emotion, if it is sincere, is involuntary." When something in our life happens the first reaction that we have in the real emotion that we are feeling not the emotion that we think people want us to have. Sometimes we just need to let ourselves go and be involuntary.
