can we express freely?

I remember a friend who believed that to write a good piece he needed to be a bit drunk.
Not totally drunk, but in a middle state of “I’m not sober and words just come out”.

Hemingway did the same thing.

I happened to write too on those moments, words flow easily sometimes, they don’t get stuck in all the mind-tricks you get day by day.
But in the end, is it good enough?

I wonder if this is just a shortcut to express our emotions.
Since I personally believe that to any problem there’s a good question to ask, here I would ask
“Why aren’t we able to express emotions without alcohol?”

It’s the mind, right?
When we are drunk all the social status gets thrown away and you just do what you want (or so it seems).
But why am I making it such a big deal?

The thing is wouldn’t it be better if you could express your full range of emotions whenever you want?

It’s not about drinking, it’s about being mindful and recognizing that there are some blocks within ourselves that we need to figure out.
If we’re not fully aware of this, we should work on it.

Emotions are the most powerful thing we have ever come across, we can’t leave them just for the drunk moment.
We should allow emotions to come freely, we must work towards a version of ourself that doesn’t need any external input to express deep joy, gratitude, passion.

Yes, it’s because of our society.
The same society that concludes “If you’re too kind or sensitive you’re gay”.
Since we care about society, we obey those rules.
But those rules are moving us away from what we are.
Because we are scared to show love, we are scared to share emotions.

There aren’t scary emotions in this world.
There is a scary mind, though.
