While happiness is a choice it may be difficult to be happy all the time and keep smiling for real. There are times when you feel lonely. May be something bothers you, may be an unwanted episode happens or it can be a simple splurge of emotions that makes you sad. During such times it is difficult to pretend for long as if we are happy, in front of the world.
I am no different. I have often felt it. So, what do I do when in such times? I cry, simple.
But I am told that crying is a sign of weakness and we not supposed to be weak. I tried this too. For years I controlled my emotions in public and in private too. I remained strong or that is what I thought I am. But it was not true. It seemed I was living two lives. I wanted to cry and used to think ‘how long will I have to cry with my smiles’. I was tired.
Finally, I gave up. I cried.
To my amazement I felt happy, just after that. I felt stronger than ever, just after that. I could smile, just after that. It is not necessary that I am in pain or something when I cry. It may just be an outburst of my emotions without a reason.
I then realized, strength do not come just from having power. Many a times, it comes by being true to your emotions.
