While, in a perfect world, it would be awesome to just be open and honest, it's best to keep this to those you trust, professional and non-professional. You risk further hurt otherwise....I myself have had to find my own equilibrium....between speaking my mind and being a door mat everyone scrapes their shoes upon....it's not easy being smart. A wise individual working in mental health once told me '(insert my name here), sometimes it's better to be mediocre'.....at the time I cringed at the thought but the older and more frustrated/angry/depressed I become, the more I realise this philosophy is true...
there's also more.... I'm very much into astronomy and physics which gives me a certain understanding of the world and the universe..... I look into the stars and sometimes ponder that we might just be a cosmic coincidence with no real purpose destined to be wiped out which most often results in what I think is an existential crisis but I might be wrong.... as if everything else wasn't enough but I only blame myself for this.... I'm an atheist but I guess the bible was right in saying "he who increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow"
