crying in silence

him: you should be a politician
me: i don't want to be a politician, i don't want to be another person to lie to you
him: the way you maneuver your words, you don't have to

i don't think we should suffer in silence. there should be a balance between expressing our joys and our anguish.  i am transparent when it comes to every emotion not just dissatisfaction.  but if i choose to discuss my disappointments, is that not ok? should i suffer in silence? should i withdraw into my emotions? should i spare you the reality of the unhappy me?  my woes, however often or rare they may be, make my joys that much sweeter. you either join me for the ride or excuse yourself now.
