Explaining what you're feeling to other people will be one of the hardest things you will be doing in your life time.
Our vocabulary simply lacks the words to use in order to express and explain what you are truly feeling.
Recently, I've tried sharing what I am going through. And it wasn't enough. I wasn't able to properly convey my message that can be easily summarized into: I'm sad and depressed.
Whenever we express what we feel, we as humans, tend to follow up the statement with the question why. That leads us to suddenly thinking that we should be able to justify what we are feeling. And it's just that not easy.
For one, feeling depressed sometimes strips you out of the right words you want to say. Just like how it strips you out of energy to do things, like eat three times a day.
I understand that we need some sort of validation as to our feelings so that whoever wants to help us will know the cause and in turn, the most reasonable resolution. But we must also understand how limited our medium of communication is. As what most of us say, not everything can be put into words.
