I read this on a wall somewhere and found it so insightful in the moment that I took the time to copy it down.  ~ 

We are all walking around with these glossy eyes. ''I'm just tired' we say. But you know what? It's BS. Yes, we are tired, but it's not all from lack of sleep. We are tired of waking up to nothing to look forward to, tired of going to bed exhausted from doing a million things we find no enjoyment in doing. We are tired of the void, the emptiness that looms over us even though our days are packed full. We are tired of the loneliness that presses down on us even though we are surrounded by dozens of people. So why can't we just say it? Humans are so afraid to look into each other's eyes and say ''I am unhappy, I am broken, I am hopeless and fallible.'' We've been conditioned to associate pain with weakness, sadness with coldness, loneliness with unworthiness, difference with disease, as if these feelings are contagious, as if ambivalence is something not to be felt but to be feared. Well, screw that. Screw forced smiles and polite handshakes and ''I'm fine'' and ''thank you''. Screw the fear of crying in a public place, screw the fake chipper voice, screw the lies we spit out to cover up our problems. We are HUMANS. We are meant to feel. To feel everything and to feel it al openly. We are not metal - we are flesh and bone. Our boiling blood courses through our cold, clammy hands. We are intricate and beautiful and we should never hide in our human parts, because if we do, then what's left to show?    Anonymous
