There are a multitude of reasons why people would choose to hide their emotions, as a coping mechanism, hiding something from others, etc. I don't think it's ever healthy to hide how you're really feeling to those you're close with, as all your doing is denying yourself from the support that you need. I'm not one to talk though, since I'm guilty of hiding how I'm really feeling.
Home can really be whatever you make of it. To me I picture my home, my dog, my friends and my family. In the end I think home is somewhere you can be comfortable being yourself.
I think the role of dreams is to give you something to aspire to, and are
subject to change as you grow.
For example if you had asked me what my dream was when I was in high
school, I would've 100% said I want to be an actor, and sure, some of me
still thinks that I would love to do something like that but realistically it's not
what life has in store for me.
I think striving for perfection is inherently
harmful. Pushing yourself either
physically or mentally for the purpose of
achieving perfection feels like it'd end
up doing more harm than good in what
is a pretty futile effort.
I think people are
capable of achieving pretty high highs,
but perfection will pretty much always be
out of reach, the best you can do is be
the best 'you' you can be.
