الفرق بين الطبخ على نار هادئة والطبخ السريع

As kids, crying was a completely acceptable form of reaction or outlet. If you were scared, you cried. If you were confused, you cried. If you didn't understand a new emotion, it was ok to cry too. If you were too tired, or sick or even disappointed, you cried. If you were too happy, you would refuse to sleep, then get cranky cause you're tired, then cried. (That was a very indirect example, but you get my point, no?)

We grew up, and crying wasn't ok any more. It is a sign of weakness. We learned to cry on the inside, to shove it up, to fake strong till you're strong. There is no such thing as confused or exploring new emotions; you're an adult, you should understand yourself, otherwise how can you succeed in life. Then came the point when one realised they failed for so long, and got heart broken so many times, that tears are becoming a commodity, so a decision has to be made; no more tears.

But as a self respecting adult, I somehow took this decision too seriously that for years (possibly 7 or 8 now), that I now feel quite frustrated when I cant outlet those same negative emotions that I used to resort to crying out as a child. I hate and love him at the same time. I'm confused, excited and terrified from serious decisions that will affect my career and personal life. I'm scared and I don't know what to do. I know I have a hundred friends that I can reach out and talk to but right now, I just feel like I need a hug. A certain hug that will make everything better. Just like a mother's hug comforts a crying child, even though he may be crying cause she just yelled at him; her hug is the only thing that will calm the child down.

Being a child was so much easier, wasn't it?
