Holding it in

This is my take on sharing how you're feeling to others and why holding it in is not healthy.

It might be kind of gross but here it is:

I always imagine that bitterness or frustration over our circumstances is like vomit. It really is meant to come out. Holding it in just makes us feel worse and makes us even more sick. So to those we trust, we don't have to be ashamed of how gross or unappealing our vomit is because they'll love us and not judge us and will get us through our issues.


End of gross metaphor.
