Bottling emotions…is probably the worse thing that you can…
““Bottling emotions…is probably the worse thing that you can do because it will come back to attack you and others. It isn't clever, it is foolish. When you have got things off your chest it will ease the stress and you will start to unwind. Remind yourself of the first 'Truth of Life' and live by it - 'Life is Unfair'. Don't just say it, live by it.””
