Favorite Quote:
“The way sadness works is one of the strange riddles of the world. If you are stricken with a great sadness, you may feel as if you have been set aflame, not only because of the enormous pain but also because your sadness may spread over your life, like smoke from an enormous fire.¨<br /> – Lemony Snicket


I don´t know who to talk to.
No one seems to know the real me.
I keep it all bottled up inside until it´s too late, and I explode.
No one seems to care about me except a few.
But they all have their own lives and worries, and I don´t want to bother them.
I cry myself to sleep, my eyes all red and itchy.
Can you please ask about my day?
I need to rant.
All I need for you is to listen.
Please, one of you.
Check up on me.

We all want someone who will give you their time to listen to you talk and check up on you every once in a while.
