Concealing Moments Alone

A lot of people (including myself) have a tendency to conceal sadness, depression, etc, but I want to talk about obscuring happy moments. Those time when we really shouldn't be hiding our feelings. Every person should have the right to just scream like a little girl and not give a damn. I say enjoy every moment of joy. I've done the 'jump around the room with the door closed so no one sees' thing many times just so my mom wouldn't give me a weird look.

This past weekend was my birthday but I could have cared less about turning 20. What brought rejoice was having spent it with my friends and I'm pretty sure they got that. It was one of those days where you erase all your problems for a handful of hours.

I'm kinda curious to know why people have a tendency to not let these emotions flow. Just let life and enjoy your time in it. A person's perception of what it means to be happy changes constantly over time and people should take the time to really find what makes them happy inside. For me, it's just spending time with friends.
