It’s amazing the things a person can hide behind a smile. We all have to be so tough in this world. Never showing any vulnerability, never knowing who to trust, never believing in happiness. We laugh when we really feel like crying. We let it go when we really care. We fight even when we know we’re wrong. We go through all the motions, just to avoid the reality of our emotions. We aren’t meant to go through life numb, feeling protected in our glass houses. You’re not that tough, you care about something. Sure, it’s easy being care free, but don’t suck the life out of your body refusing to feel because it doesn’t do anything but kill you slowly. Certain things happen because that’s the essence of how we learn, through feeling; be it joy or pain. Growing hurts, but pain promotes maturity. At the end of the day you have to trust somebody, you may not trust them with everything, but you have to trust somebody with something. When you could care less about everything in your world, it’s because you have nothing real in your world. Be strong enough to care about something. You wouldn’t have to hide behind things if you didn’t hide from yourself. Happiness and love are not just idea’s, they are realities. I pray entirely too much for them not to be.
