Own It

Never ever tell anyone how to feel. How they should feel. How they need to feel.

Feelings and emotions are some of the only things we have that are truly our own. No one should be able to take them away from us. If you're sad, cry. Go for it. Weep. Pour your sorrows out. Don't let anyone convince you it's not right. If you're angry, scream. Do not for a second let anyone let you think you're wrong. If you're happy, emote it. Don't let anyone persuade you into thinking it makes you inferior.

You are the only only one that has to live with your circumstances. You are the one that has to decide how to deal with it. Everyone handles situations differently, and who is one person to decide which way is right and which is wrong? Emotions are primal reactions and feeling them only makes you human. Never ever let anyone make you feel inadequate for feeling one way or another.


Something filled up 
My heart with nothing
Someone told me not to cry

But now that I'm older
My heart's colder
And I can see that it's a lie
