Its a constant battle to either quiet your feelings or scare people away.
We all do it, some more than otherswe hide our hearts to protect them from shattering.
We feel I love you, but say thats great.

We stay cool, stay detached.
We feel I miss you, but text Ill let you know when Im free.
We pretend not to care.
We feel I need you, but answer doin good.
We pretend to be strong.
We think were being cool by perpetrating the falsehood that deep feelings are wrong.
Were part of the problem.
Were continuing the cycle of loneliness instead of forging a new path toward connection.
We play into the idea of cool, but all it brings us is coldness.
I admire those who are unapologetically themselves.
Those who hand out their hearts with every interaction, without fear therell eventually be nothing left.
I aspire to be like them.
It does not make you weak.
Dont let them convince you that youre too soft.
It is okay to think with your heart.
Loving deep and being in tune with your emotions isnt a fault.
You just need to find someone whos in awe of your strong emotional capacity instead of burdened by it.
