Alexa's face whitens. The coil of hair loosens itself from her finger. "You did it for me. You never fought back. Because you thought you were keeping me safe." I pull up my gaze to meet hers. "Yeah.""I--" It's a strangled, high-pitched sound, laced with shock and grief. Then she bites her lips shut. Her chin trembles, just once, before she turns away. Clara Kensie
About This Quote

The most significant human emotion is the feeling of shame. The shame that comes with being unhappy or feeling remorse or regret can lead to depression. Repressing these emotions is very unhealthy behavior, as it ultimately leads to more pain. However, there is great value in expressing these emotions after you have gained some sense of peace with them.

Do not shy away from clearing your mind of the bad feelings, but rather choose to express your feelings in a healthy manner. If you are able to maintain a positive outlook on life, you will find yourself more likely to make the right decisions and live a happier life.
