Only Acting
It's always the best people that get hurt the most. Whether its mental, physical, or emotional pain the best people are always the ones getting hurt. You have great people that are going somewhere in life and you would think that “Hey! Their fine and perfect! Everything will work out for them in the end!” but it won't. You have people out there that look okay and happy, but that's all, they only look happy. But are they really happy? Probably not. Maybe but most likely not. Take me for example. I smile all the time and sometimes I laugh so hard that my stomach starts to hurt. But that doesn't mean I'm happy. Nobody knows this, and for some reason I'm okay with putting this up on here, but I was verbally abused as a kid. My real dad was bipolar and whenever I would do something wrong he would be right there, yelling at me and making sure that every word that came out of his mouth hurt. One time, he even shoved me against the wall; another time it was the washer. I was 5 for God's sake! Some people might say well “Hey you were 5! How can you remember that!?” Let me tell you; there are somethings in life that you will never forget. And the way my father would treat me, and I'm sure there are other people out there that will agree with me, is unforgettable. So there you have it. Even the happiest looking people on earth are faking it. Don't judge a book by its cover, instead read deeper.
