mum's the word

my mom always says that if you have nothing nice to say, or if you feel like the things that you want to say will only instigate an argument, no matter how long these feelings have been eating you up inside like cancer; or if you feel like stating a point, which may just be dismissed, because to some, that is the only defense that they know how; or even if you DO have something nice to say, but it just comes out wrong, or is misinterpreted, that you feel like smacking yourself in the head for that harmless intent, or if you feel like having one of those conversations about life, 1Malaysia, facebook habits or the like, which will only be followed by, "omg fera, you think too much!", which again, makes you feel like smacking yourself in the head; or if you're afraid to ask because you're afraid to know the answer; or if you want to sing but may be ridiculed for singing out of tune; or if you feel like a telling a joke, but risk messing up the punch line; or if you feel like talking only to ease an awkward moment; or if talking only makes you cringe or fake interest or force a nervous laughter....

...it is best that you keep mum.
