"How we feel lonely, sometimes 

to the point of tears, but we don't 

let those tears come 

because we are not supposed to cry. 

Or how we feel a surge of love 

for a partner 

but we don't say anything 

because we're frozen 

with the fear of what those words 

might do to the relationship.  

Turn on the faucet. 

Wash yourself with the emotion. 

It won't hurt you. 

It will only help."

-"Tuesdays with Morrie" by Mitch Albom
