People always say that it’s best to let our emotions out. When we’re sad, we’re told to cry it out, and when we’re stressed, the best thing to do is either write down what you’re feeling or meditate. Expressing emotions allows us to come to terms with our feelings, and enables us to improve our relationship with ourselves. After all, we were born with these emotions, which means we’re bound to use them at some point in our lives!
