Why I Want to Start Throwing Tantrums Again.

I’m this close to throwing myself on the ground and screaming/crying in the middle of a Walmart.

As some of you may know I am a huge fan of Taylor Swift. Some of you who are also “Swifties” may be familiar with the song “seven” and the lure behind it. If not, I'll explain it to you.

The song “seven” reflect on a young Taylor’s life and the intensity of emotions and feeling those emotions as a child. The song came from Taylor seeing a young child in a grocery store, throwing a tantrum. Most of us would see a child throwing a tantrum and get annoyed but Taylor looked at this child with a sense of “same”.

When did we stop throwing tantrums? When did we start learning civility? When did we stop letting ourselves feel those feelings and letting the world know this is what I’m feeling?

I have learned from a very young age to mask my feelings to not make other people uncomfortable with them, but I’m so over that. If I feel like crying, I want to just cry in the middle of the grocery store. If I want to get angry about someone being rude to me, I want to allow myself to be angry. I want to scream at the top of my lungs without explanation.

Taylor Swift is right, I’m going to allow myself to feel my feelings and throw tantrums.
