Our emotions hold more power over us than blade or poison alike. To embrace freely the entire spectrum of our emotions is to allow a multitude of Trojan horses containing hidden emotional poisons to circumvent the walls of rationalization — walls we need to protect our trust, confidence, understanding, and self-control. A.J. Darkholme
About This Quote

It is said that we can not be happy unless we love ourselves and do not feel ashamed of what we are feeling. If you think you are depressed or lonely, the best thing to do is to talk about it with someone you trust. By talking about those feelings with those who care for you, those negative emotions will be able to rise up and storm the walls of your mind. As soon as those negative emotions rise, they will trigger a bunch of positive emotions that can overwhelm all the negative ones.
