This (meaning the blogs) is a world where everyone is sad
Where everyone has something to say about depression
Where everyone has something to say about anxiety and loneliness and
broken families and dreams never realized and expectations and
heartbreak and pressures and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and andandandandandandandandandandan
rarely anything happy
This is a world where sad is normal
And happy is scarce
Because we spend so much time at school and work and with friends being happy
Sometimes we need a break
Even if we aren't really that sad
Sometimes we need to release
Even if your life hasn't really been that hard yet
(Which is okay really, just be grateful)
You make something up
Stretch the truth a bit
Because yet again, we are trying to fit in
Even hiding behind pen names
This isn't the place to seek help or attention
Because we can't help you, we don't know who you are
And Nelson doesn't have the time of day to track down each student who writes something sad
Just know he loves you
Really really he does
Please don't think I'm dismissing your feelings
Or mental illness
Because I have seen worst case scenario
And I understand the heartbreak
Really I wish I could make that bigger
If you want to talk, I would love to listen
Seriously, I LOVE to listen.
But talk to ******* not PaP
But that doesn't help ******* the people don't know who you are
Do you always talk to yourself?
Yes, now go away
I guess what I'm trying to say is
If I write something sad
Just know it's not a cry for help
I don't want you to feel sad, for me, or just in general
My writing really is more for me than it is for you
It's my release
I'm really doing okay
I swear
Really?
I told you to go away
More often than not the smile you see is real
And I wait til I'm alone to cry
Also there are Hats in this world..........soooooo
This is absolute brilliance. Literally my favorite blog on here. Let's be best friends.

ReplyDeleteI wish everyone could get the chance to read this before the blogs start up each year. It sums up a lot really well, and you didn't minimalize people's problems in the process.
couldn't have said it better.
