Today is secret day. Again. I've thought about this one for a really long time, and this is my first time just putting it out there.Frank Warren updates his blog every Sunday, and last week I found a secret that stuck with me. It read, "I guess I'm the opposite of suicidal... I feel so dead, and I want to be ALIVE."
The secret for today is my own version of that; I guess I'm the opposite of depressed... I feel so happy, and I want to be sad.
That may sound weird the first time you read it, but try relating it back to expectations. I put myself out there as a happy person, so whenever I'm anything less than that, people think there's something wrong with me - overtime, I have changed so that being sad is... wrong. Now I feel as though I need excuses upon excuses as to how I carry myself every day. Some people might read this and think how strange it must be to want to feel sad. But really, to me it comes as a relief.
Think whatever you want.
That's my secret.
that's much better than your alternative. how good your life is is merely your perception of it.
ReplyDeletehaha, isn't that the secret i showed you the other day?
ReplyDeletelol, i was gonna put that up. psyyyyych
psych as in i'm not going to anymore* haha
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool idea for a regular post subject (albeit brave)! When I don't smile, even walking down a hall at work, people ask me what's wrong. Relief, for me, is being around people who don't ask me that question when I'm not smiling!
