People see me as emotional person, yea iom very emotional, sensitive and sentimental person.. I just want to say what I really feel inside. we live only once so If im happy I will tell and show if im sad they see me cry and so depressing.. When we will express our true feelings when it comes to end that you dont have enough time to say what you want?

I agree, it's good to be true on what we feel.. =) However, I also believe that we should also have a little control over our emotions.. most especially the negative ones. :) Because sometimes, when we are driven by our emotions, the tendency is for us to make drastic moves and decisions which in the end will give us regrets and frustrations. =( I believe it's still important if we know and understand our emotions well, because it will make us stronger persons in life.. You can try engaging in other activities if you can't handle your emotions well. You can keep yourself busy.. you can write about your frustrations or sadness in a sheet of paper and throw/ burn it after. It feels way much better in my own opinion. Personally, when I am dominated with negative emotions, I take it as an intellectual challenge. When rough times come, I always think after the positive side in every negative things. It helps me to think clearly and broadly.. It helps me to be more broad-minded. It helps me to be more open to opportunities.. because I think about every good things and not only focus on the bad ones. :) Another thing is that, negative things like depression, are in fact sins and people don't realize that. God doesn't want us to walk under a dark cloud because there are more things in life than our sadness. I'm not saying it's a bad thing to cry.. OF COURSE, it's okay to cry sometimes.. but we should not take it for a long time that it already affects our actions. As what I've said earlier, we should have a little control over our emotions. It's better to just keep it by ourselves.. because opportunities are everywhere.. blessings are just around the corner.. and it only goes to those who have a positive view about life. So be always happy because despite the negativity around us, God said that He is always with us and that He will never leave us until His promises are fulfilled :) Life is all about making decisions. :) that's why to be successful in life, emotional maturity is very important :)
