"We hold back tears when we want to cry uncontrollably. 

We pretend we’re fine when we want to run into the streets and scream our heads off. 

We get angry when we really want to be comforted.

We’re all trying to practice socially acceptable behavior but we’re dying inside. We’re killing our natural human instincts." by Arlene Ambrose
