It is not acknowledged enough how a few events in your life make you a different, even a difficult person to interact with. You loose a close family member or go through a painful career transition, you are expected to handle it ‘smoothly’ otherwise you are not grieving right or you are not ‘strong enough.’ You are often reminded how you are not the only one going through it. The society and everyone around us has made these invisible rules and you are expected to function, love and grieve within these rules.
We talk about right to our privacy and our opinions, how about our right to love or to grieve? But I guess, the society that we live in, has to evolve so much to even comprehend it, that by the time we achieve any of this, it will end up making millions of people sad, depressed and lonely.
