Todayyy I was feeling very freshly emo because I had an emotional rollercoaster of a day. I speak through these feelings in the moment and I speak on the feeling of loneliness when you grew up chronically misunderstood. There is a very sad pain that comes from being misunderstood and told "you shouldn't feel that way". I talk about being sensitive and why we build up this guard when we grew up with a mental illness!
