“You can close your eyes to the things you don’t want to see, but you can’t close your heart to the things you don’t want to feel.”
— Johnny Depp
Simplified Meaning:
If you don’t want to look at something, you can just close your eyes, and then you won't see it anymore. For example, if there is a scary scene in a movie, you can shut your eyes, and it won’t bother you as much. However, feelings are different because they stay in your heart and mind even if you try to ignore them. If someone you love moves away or if you lose a pet, you will feel sad no matter how much you try to avoid these emotions. It's like trying to ignore a stomach ache by not looking at your belly – the pain is still there. This means it’s important to deal with your emotions instead of pretending they don’t exist. Talking with friends, writing in a journal, or doing activities you enjoy can help you work through difficult feelings.
