The Glass Bottle
We’ve all had strong, bottled-up emotions at one point in our lives.
But have we all expressed them freely?
Some of us don’t open the cork on that bottle and instead let the pressure build up until eventually the glass breaks and our emotions spill everywhere.
Thankfully, that’s never happened to me.
Not yet.
Well, it kind of has.
Instead of letting the pressure build up too much and let the bottle burst apart, I once loosened the cork and let the pressure make it pop off.
The murky, sad concoction in the bottle spilled out and onto the tile floor.
I wouldn’t be able to clean it up for weeks.
But I was young and didn’t yet understand that I could just keep the cork off the bottle so the pressure wouldn’t make the fragile bottle explode.
