Emotions Quote by Anonymous
“You can never tell what people are thinking and feeling unless they tell you, and usually they lie. You ask them, 'What's wrong?' and they say, 'Nothing.' You accept this because it's easier than digging for the truth. People smile when they want to cry, they laugh when they want to scream and shout. They pretend like nothing is wrong because they don't want to face the truth. Things aren't always rainbows and butterflies, sometimes you gotta scream and cry your anger and sadness to the world, because you can only hold it in for so long before something in you snaps. So when you want to cry, cry. When you want to scream, scream. Don't hide behind fake smiles, it's okay to not be alright.”
