EXPRESSION not Repression

I've learned that the finest of writers are those who write from a place of experience and knowledge. It equips this type of people with the right ideas to put out. This is a conversation I've had incessantly with my friend

Hive account@osarueseosato. In my society, maybe in the world at large, repression is what we are thought, practically from birth. It's like the display of these human emotions makes us weak or is inappropriate. We are alienated and left to learn how to put out the flames of these emotions. Whether as a guy or as a girl. It's freaking dreadful.

No, I not going to start giving you some pseudo lecture on emotions, and bla bla, I reckon even that some folks would think this is a post about some weird kink. NO. When I was younger; the major part of my growing up, we were thought to not show these emotions.; love, empathy, etc. I think the most infamous one is sexual emotion and feelings. I am probably going to be celibate all my life but I have learned some important life lessons that I'd like to share with anyone that cares to listen:

NEVER BOTTLE YOUR FEELING OR EMOTIONS - okay, I need to disclaimer, I am not a creep or some warped anomaly that was made in the lab or whatever you think of me now, xd. Just listen. Feelings I meant to be expressed, believe me. These emotions and feelings are what make us humans. They are what would be the difference between tech and humans, AI, ROBOTS, etc. You defo should have any idea of what I am trying to say.
EXPRESSION IS STRENGTH - F$%# all that cliche crap about you being silly or something. It takes a great deal of bravery for someone to open up about their sexuality or feelings. Have conversations with friends and families, and be positive. Boy, I'm sh%te at all these goody-two-shoes bollocks. You get it at least.
finally, LIVE - You have heard this a gazillion times but, Truly... LIVE. You shouldn't wait for life to happen to you, but go out there and happen to live- not literally, I don't think that humanly possible.

like this famous quote says -

If you only live once, today is as good as any day to live the life of your dreams. You only live once, so take advantage of what you got when you have it. You only live once so live your life to the fullest with no regrets. You only live once, but if you live right, once is enough!

In conclusion, I will live you with my favorite phrase of recent times, MEMENTO MORI. It is a Latin phrase reminding you of the inevitability of death. Men of old used the phrase to remind themselves of death whenever they wanted to party.

As usual, I hope all this gibberish makes sense to you, if not.... tough luck. now bugger off
