why am I so emotional?
I put on a calm and cool demeanor
but my insides are churning
overthinking it
grasping at straws
I seem to always come up
empty
I don’t like this
but it feels like a familiar story
playing out
all over again

Nothing wrong with emotion, Jason but you have to let it out, then you’ll feel better. Do you journal? That is a good way as a writer to get the emotions out.
If not, laughing, just force it at first, think of all the things you find funny. Then just keep laughing! Roll around the floor and laugh. If tears come too, that’s fine, just let them! This is very cathartic imho. 🤣🤣🤣❤🌷❤
