For me, the prime attributes of adulthood-is complexity We were never one clear layer of feeling our feelings are intertwined with one another we can be grateful and also be sad at the same time we can be happy and scared brave and insecure simultaneously confident and anxious we can smile and laugh, burying away our darkest, deepest pain We can feel guilty while we still think we did the right thing there's no winning in terms of adult emotion we can only let the people who feels- to feel freely don't diminish one's pain dont ridicule how 'small' one's problem is dont point out all the great thing in their life and remind them there's bigger problem in this world because pain, however petty it may seem might bleed out and turns malignant. let it heal, naturally.
