I hate that feeling when you randomly feel depressed. There is no warning, no apparent reason. It just happens. You feel empty, and you feel hopeless. And you just feel tired. As if you never want to move again. Then when someone asks what's wrong, you can't say because there is nothing that comes to mind. Then you start thinking of what it could be, and you realise just how much is wrong.
You know that feeling?
Yeah, it sucks.

He knows everything, my past, my secrets, everything
But this other guy knows nothing, not my past, not my secrets, nothing

And I just left the first guy, but the second guy wants a relationship...


Oh God...

I have finally learned to deal with my pain. It feels great to know I dont have to go through it anymore. It was a lot but now I have ways to manage it. I'm free. It does come back at times and there is not a day that goes by that I dont think about it but am I free from it yes so thats all that matters.

I was just laying down trying to get a tan on my shoulders while my family flew kites, and this man comes up to me and says "m'am are you alright?" As if I looked upset. I said I was perfectly fine. This made my day. He may not know it, but just by him asking if I was okay makes me have faith that this society isn't completely hopeless.

Maybe society isn't as bad as we say it is.

So I pushed the bitterness down, into the black pit of my stomach along with my regret and my grief and my fear, and I said, "I'm fine. May i go now?"

Writers are not happy people. Yes they may laugh, they may smile, they may
even look happy from time to time, but they aren't truly. Writers all have something in their life they hate: family, friends, school, work, themselves. Things they hate so much they want nothing more than to escape from. That's what writing is, an escape. It allows people to go somewhere they never could, it allows them to control something in a world where nothing is certain. It allows them to change what they hate, to destroy it if they want. Writers battle their demons with pen and paper. So even though they may appear happy on the outside, every writer struggles throughout the day.

This one moment, when you know you are not a sad story, you are alive. And you stand up and see the lights on the buildings and everything that makes you wonder. And you're listening to that song on that drive with the people you love most in this world. And in this moment, I swear, we are infinite. <3
