It's not always how it seems...

Have you ever met a person that seems to have the perfect life?

They have the smarts, the great looks, the overall amazing personality.

Well, I'll let you in on a little secret: Nothing's always what it seems. There will be times when the person you think has it better than you actually has it worse. You can't judge someone because of what they choose to show you.

Oh, no. There is a reason why they CHOOSE to show the good part of their lives and hide the bad parts. It's all about flaunting what you got, and tucking away the things you wish you never had. There's no need for anyone else to know what's wrong with your life...whiners are annoying. Plus, you have that pressure...everyone thinks you're perfect, so you hide the imperfections so that they won't think any less of you. You want to reassure them that there's nothing wrong, in hopes of convincing yourself that there's nothing wrong.
But at the same time, hiding your problems could lead to irreparable internal damages. You choose to hide all the bad stuff so much that you store it all inside, then you EXPLODE. You care about how others think about you so much, that you're causing yourself to emotionally die...and you're not showing yourself anymore, but this other person you created to portray a perfect life. You can't cry yourself to bed every night thinking that somehow, everything's gonna be OK.

Know that no one's perfect...there is no such thing as a perfect life. Don't refrain from showing your emotions because you're afraid that they're gonna think you're psychotic, or weird, or crazy.

For goodness' sake, you're probably making yourself even crazier...

Share yourself...write a blog...write in a diary...cry on a friend's shoulder...cry on a stranger's shoulder...
