"We all carry these things inside that no one else can see. They hold us down like anchors, the drown us out at sea."
Honestly I think I just found my new favorite quote. I feel like I relate to it more then I should but honestly I love it. But I'm probably not the only one because even if it's just a little bit, I can say a good percent of people can relate to this quote some how some way.
My interpretation of the quote is at follows. Everyone holds something inside, weather it be a secret their real emotions, who they love who they hate something that hold inside that, in a way drags at us. It's something that is no good for us that is "drowning us out a sea" but we still hold onto no matter how much it hurts us.
In this generation it seems better to hold everything in. To not tell anyone how we feel, what's really bothering us because we don't want to be annoying, or judge by that person. We feel like no one is going to accept how we feel and just make us feel worse in the end.
And no matter how bad it is, how much pains it causes us to hold it in we keep it in anyway. We fake a smile and laugh everything off like its nothing. So people who aren't fully aware of what's happening can't see past. They see the smile and assume everything all right when in doubt it's not.
We patiently wait for someone to see past the facade but because everyone is more wrapped up in there own world no one really sees it. They might hint something and say "what's wrong?" or "are you ok?". But all you have to do is put on a smile and say, "I'm fine." or "I'm just tired." and no one will take a second glance at it because the fact is they probably didn't care in the first place.
If people around us seemed more trust worth more carrying about each others feelings, then we wouldn't be caring around these anchors all the time, honestly we wouldn't have to carry them at all. We wouldn't be feeling like crap all the time and we can finally put an honest and genuine smile on our face.
I myself honestly care, and I feel like some people in my life do as well. But at points when I remember so many things that happen in my past. I can't bring myself to do so. So I carry around my anchor.
