I don't know what to title this hahah
The story
I don't feel so good. My uncle is gonna leave in a few days, he was just coming to visit and so were my other uncles and my aunts but then they all left back to their countries and now my uncle is gonna leave too and I'm dreading it, the house is gonna feel so empty (theres my dad and other family members but they always make me feel miserable) and I just don't want to cry in front of anyone, theyre gonna make fun probably and I'll feel so embarrassed. I just don't wanna cry. I know people say it's good to cry and strong people do that and I am sooo aware but yeah. I don't wanna cry
Theres just been a lot in my head and a lot of emotions that make me feel miserable. But don't get me wrong, I'm grateful for everything. It's just this miserable feeling no matter what I do it can't go away, it's like a sticky googly eyed green jello that sticks to your arm and won't go away even when you shake your arm so much

it sounds tough dealing with that feeling of emptiness when family leaves. like, it's easy to say don't cry, but emotions don't just switch off, right? you're aware of the benefits of crying, but the fear of being mocked makes it complicated. the emotional bandwidth we have can feel overloaded when everyone we care about leaves. 😕 i get not wanting to show vulnerability around people who might not understand. maybe it's about finding a coping mechanism that makes sense for you, even if it feels like green jello sticking around. it’s okay to not have all the answers; emotions are complex.
Thank you for saying this 🤍🤍 I'm really grateful. Your words were super cool and awesomeeeee
I totally get where you're coming from!!! Family leaving sucks big time. Been there, done that. Emotional whiplash and all, you're not alone. When my cousin leaves, my room feels like a black hole. And yeah, people can be seriously insensitive; been laughed at for crying in front of my family too. Maybe just find a private spot?? I've always found humor in the oddest places to cope!! Your emotions matter, no shame there. Keep your chin up!!
Hey, thank you so much for this message. I truly appreciate your kind and awesome words! (: I'm sorry to hear you've been laughed at. People really are losers
