Sing like nobody can hear you. Sing for the spirit within! Sing out loud everything you feel! Sing the rage away! Sing the sadness out! Sing the joy of feeling the warmth of sun and waking up in a soft bed! SING FOR EVERYTHING THAT IS YOU!
And NEVER apologize for singing the songs you love.

My friend that took me to dinner this week, I introduced him to a band not a lot of people have heard of. It is 'Icon for Hire'. They feature a lot of songs about feeling depressed or anxious. Yet the songs they sing don't make me feel sad, they make me feel like there is something else out there, someone who gets me. When my friend heard this band, he said that same thing. All his other friends tried to get him to listen to happy music to stop being depressed. Well, sometimes you don't want to try to feel better, you want to fill up entirely on sadness and then purge it. Sometimes you just want to feel that connection, that someone else gets it, and the song speaks to you in a way that talking or putting on a face grin could never do.
Don't smile if you don't want to. Smile when you are ready to smile.
I can wait. I will be here when you are ready to smile.
