Confide in Someone

Hola Fam! I hope you guys are doing well.
I hope you people are not too annoyed with the hurly burly of the world and of course, the summers. You know there was a time when I used to say that summers are my favourite spell of the year. But I guess, I would have to take my words back. Summertime is a monster, especially if you're fasting too. Phew! Okay, enough of my diatribe. Now onto the point.
Do you ever want to breakdown but can't because you're too ashamed to be shedding tears in front of someone, so all you do is go to your bathroom, turn the tap on (well, for obvious reasons) and start crying as silently as you can because that's the best that you can do? Do you ever feel so out of place that you think you just don't belong to this world and nobody understands you and you're weird and a loser and just too tired to explain because nobody gets your state of mind , whatsoever? Have you ever experienced that feeling when nothing feels alright and you feel like a crumpled paper or a useless plastic bag drifting through the wind trying to find its destination? Do you want to be somebody else because you're sick of feeling left out or unheard and not given attention to and useless? Do you feel like you're anxious and depressed at the same time and there's something building up inside you which is choking you and suffocating you but you just can't do anything about it because even you can't seem to help yourself out because even you don't know what it is?
Well, if the things mentioned above seem and feel familiar to you then there's only one thing that I will highly, highly suggest you in doing. And, that is.....
TO CONFIDE IN SOMEONE OR SOMETHING!
You guys, trust me you'll feel so light and good about yourself that it will almost feel unreal. I just cannot stress on the vitality of unloading your problems and gunk on someone whom you trust and believe in. Find someone in your family or friends who has rightfully won your trust. It may be your Mom, your Dad, a sibling, another relative that you're close to or a friend whom you can repose your faith in. But make sure that that person is truly there to be your listening ear, is ready to lend you a shoulder that you can cry on and is ready to give you sincere suggestions. Someone who is ready to keep your secrets safe with them and don't just say what you would want to hear, but gives you suggestions and opinions that are faithful. But beware, not all people are worthy of listening to your problems. So choose wisely.
If you think there isn't anybody with whom you can talk to, do what Anne Frank did. Write a journal or a daily diary. That diary may not be able to give you suggestions like an actual person would but it'll surely lighten the build up inside you.
Also, try to be a listening ear to someone. You never know what the other person is going through. I confide in my Mummy. She has always been and forever be my best friend with whom I can talk about absolutely anything without the fear of being judged. She has seen me when I was at my best, at my good, at my bad and at my worst. She has seen all my faces, the faces that the rest of the world haven't seen. The faces you wouldn't even imagine I can have.
You also, find yourself an ear that listens and a heart that loves you. Find someone with whom you are a hundred percent comfortable showing the best and the worst you. One who is ready to see a vulnerable you. A broken you. An exhausted you. A heartbroken you. One who is ready to listen to you.
Good Luck!
