my life is great, right?


Shut up.

They want you to tell them when you are upset,

but then make you feel worse for being so.

Your life is f*****g great, right?

I thought so. 

So smile.

Laugh.

Eat a full meal in front of them.

Play a giant game of pretend.

The late at night,

;et yourself fall apart.

This is how it should be.

You can go through this alone.

After all,

your life is great.
