This quote is from Sa'di. When i was 2, i went to live in Moscow with my parents and stayed there for 6 years. When i returned to my homeland Iran, it was as if i had fallen from heaven to hell. In order to hide my real thoughts and feelings i tried to put on the mask of a good and studious girl and continued this till i finished university. As a result of this, suppressing or running away from my thoughts and emotions had become my coping mechanism. If it wasn't for months of going to weekly therapy sessions, i wouldn't have achieved this self-awareness.
That is such a lovely quote, Negar! Which masterpiece is it from?
(And - you sound so self-aware! ie knowing when you're in danger of going into over planner mode, and its consequences for you.)
