Sadness:Valid (too)

No. You don’t have to keep your other emotions a secret. They’re valid too, all of them.

Forget about the things that people might say or think about if you freely express all of your other emotions besides happiness. We are not made of pure joy, that’s called “impossible” and “unreal”.

We must feel down for us to appreciate and recognize our ups. Nobody ever learned from being consistently happy and secured. We must embrace all of ourselves, the good and the bad, the happy and the sad, the crazy and the calm.

Please never feel the need to hide what you really feel. You don’t have to be pleasing and cheerful all the time. I promise you, all of them are valid too.
