The Bottle

You've heard the expression, "don't bottle your feelings up". It's a pretty simple meaning and simple expression, but just how far can I take it? All bottles have a limit to where they can be filled and at one point, it will spill, it's best you keep your bottle empty. So what feelings you can store, what comes from storing these feelings, and why people say not to store these feelings. So what are feelings and emotions? They are senses made from the frontal lobe of the brain causing people to do and think a certain way. So are emotions and feelings the same things? Well even I don't know how to answer that, but probably not. Emotions are things that can change our mental and physical state, while feelings are more of something that isn't real, and yet they can be hurt, triggering emotions. So what are some emotions? The normal ones are things we all know. Happiness, sadness, hate, love, disgust, anger. But out of those the three main categories are happiness, sadness, and anger. While love and hate are more feelings.

Happiness is what causes you to smile, and think positively like you can do everything, this emotion is what helps you, it releases endorphins in your body, helping you live longer and your physical health. So happiness is an emotion everyone needs to feel it keeps a healthy life and that's what we want, to be happy, because happiness is a good thing to have in your life, if you feel happy then you have one of the four pillars of the good life and half of the second, these pillars are health, wealth, love, and happiness. Next up is a feeling we don't like to feel, but everyone will at one point hit this emotion, sadness.

Sadness is a sense of emptiness, and loss of something. When you are sad you feel like there's nothing left to do, like you have no ability to do anything, and all in all it just sucks to feel sad. It makes you think of bad moments in life and sucks the hope out like a parasite, and the best way to fight sadness, is to go and do something, do something you love doing, because if you can do that, you will show yourself that this isn't the end, and life will go on. The third one, is one that is avoidable, but once again everyone will feel, anger.

Anger is a really harmful emotion, it releases toxins from your brain into your body, makes your blood pressure go up, and literally shaves years off of your life. When you're angry, you become extremely aggressive wanting to punch things, yelling when there is no reason to. Now anger is either caused by a lot of small things building until everything goes down, or because of one big thing. Sadness and anger go hand in hand a lot of the times, and nothing good usually comes out of it. As I said it's easily avoidable, but how? Well I know it's hard when everything goes wrong, but it's a matter of practice to be able to keep your calm in the worst of situations, always keep the thought that it will be better quicker, if you don't get mad. And if you ever get mad ask yourself "why am I mad?". Usually that will calm you down because the answer will usually be very stupid lol. Now hate and love are two feelings, that will need another time to discuss. Now those are the three main emotions that you can toss into this bottle. So what is this "bottle" exactly? Well it's when you feel one or more of the three emotions, happiness, sadness, or anger, but you don't let the physical effects come out. So you feel happy, but you don't smile, and don't help other people smile. You feel sad, and yet you smile and act like you're happy, and then the deadliest one, you feel angry, and still smile, and act like you're fine. When you do this it doesn't make you feel any better, it still has internal effects that you will never be able to just pretend like it's not happening. Which leads me to tell you why this is a terrible idea to just slide your emotions away and pretend. Why shouldn't you act like you're not angry or sad, if they're bad emotions, why should I let them show? Because when you act like you're not feeling how you really are, you are shoving those emotions into a bottle you are squeezing them into juice and slowly filling up your bottle. This hurts more and more every time you do it, especially when you are masking your sadness and anger, with happiness. A fake smile weighs down so much on your heart and soul, it hurts a lot. And if you keep slowly letting everything build up. Then one day your bottle will fall, and everything you bottled up will leak everywhere. When this happens you will barely be able to feel anything. Your mind will start racing, thinking and thinking of so many things. And usually you'll think of bad things. It's never good to let negative out do positive. If that happened in an atom, that atom is screwed. Also all of those internal effects of those emotions will amplify and really screw your head up. At one point all the little things will build up and hurt you pretty bad. So is this a double edged sword? Either you feel the pain and show it, or wait and show it later? Well anger isn't the only emotion you can avoid. You told you remedies to the bad emotions, sadness and anger. For these emotions if you just deal with them as quick as possible, then it won't hurt so bad. Now what about happiness if you bottle that up doesn't that mean the effects will help you? Happiness is amazing on it's own, but once it gets mixed with bad things, the solution is even worse. Happiness won't do anything for you if you bottle it up, and happiness is the best emotion to show why wouldn't you wanna show it. Smile, laugh, be energetic. There's nothing wrong with that because happiness brings out the real you, and the real you is the best you. When you are happy you will attract people so amazing to you. Remember you aren't what you eat. You are who you hang out with. There are many emotions in people made from our frontal lobe. These emotions can be put into a bottle and hidden. And when you do this, they come back to bite you in the butt. We have anger, sadness, and happiness. Happiness helps you, sadness and anger hurt you. When you mix one good with two bad, you get worse. Now when everything builds up, that bottle, has it's limits, one day it will overflow, and one day it will fall over. Try your best to empty it sooner than that, or better yet keep it empty. Doing this will help you tremendously in life. With that, I'll see you next weekend peace. Original
