Don't shut up


Letter for the future me

- Shut the cry!
- Shut up!
- Shut your chest...

But the body speaks, and how it says it all!
It speaks in the fingers hitting the table...
It speaks in the feet restless in the bed...
It speaks in the headache...
It speaks in the anxiety, the gastrits and the reflux...
It speaks in the lump in the throat...
It speaks in the sadness, the pump in the forehead...
It speaks in the insomnia...
You shut it down, but the internal chatter...
People get sick because they cultivate and keep things not digested inside their hearts...
To express yourself reassures the pain!
The pain is not meant to be felt forever.
The pain is a comma, so write a letter, a poem, a book.
Sing a song.
Take the sneakers and tap.
Joke around, make a painting, a text, meet friends even if it is virtual.
Go out for a walk and run.
Tell your psychologist, tell God. Paint yourself as an artist.

Talk to yourself, to your dog, scream at the sky, but don't shut up!!! Because is you "shut down everything you feel", in the end you drown.
Think, read, study, pray, but don't abash.
THE HEART IS NOT A DRAWER!
The body speaks!

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life.

It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
