"Nobody realizes that some people expend tremendous energy merely to be normal." ~Albert Camus
Have you ever been alone in a crowded room? Tried so hard to love someone, only to be told you're a great friend? Worked extra hard only to be fired later on? Wished upon every shooting star you saw, only to know it's childish? Took hours trying to explain to someone how you truly feel, only to have them tell you not to be so negative? Well I have. I have tried so hard to explain myself, but people don't understand. Yes I would like to go through life without caring so much about something, without stressing myself out, without losing sleep over the littlest things. I want to be "normal" or as normal as normal can get. So many people don't realize the true story behind these eyes. They don't see the hurt covered up by that smile. So the next time you ask someone how they are doing, and they tell you "I'm good!", take another look in those eyes, is it the honest truth? And what would you do to take that extra step to realize what they are covering up?
