When I was younger, someone I used to know told me he does not share his problems with people. He just "bury them deep" inside his heart. It was probably a decade ago but those words were as clear as day to me. I don't really remember that person now but I actually grew up thinking that I should too -  bury my feelings deep down. Growing up, I never once talk about my feelings or show my heart to anyone. Not my friends, not my family. Thinking back, I felt like I was the loneliest person in this world. But now, I'm too tired to go through all that. Not gonna lie, but hiding feelings like that is very painful. Things don't stay the same forever. Now, I wish I could speak up more. I want the world to see me. I wanted to feel free from all these haunted thoughts inside my head that is slowly killing me. If I can redo this, I'd tell him not to bury your feelings. I'd tell people to speak up when the weight inside their heart is too heavy to bear alone. But it's a little too late.
