Favorite Quote:
Either everyone is normal, or no one is. I choose to believe no one is, and be weirder than most.


I smile happily,
And I laugh.
I joke around
And flirt,
But it’s nothing compared to what’s inside.
Inside, I’m a mess.
I want to die.
I want to cry.
I want to curl up in bed with a jar of Nutella
And watch movies,
All kinds of movies,
But I can’t.
Because
I have to smile and laugh.
I have to joke around and flirt.
I have to pretend everything’s alright,
Even though it’s not,
So that no one knows.
I’m heartbroken.

Sometimes, the people who seem the happiest, are the ones who are the most broken inside. Some smiles are used to hide extreme amounts of pain, and sometimes, the ones way to not cry is to smile brightly.
