Words of a teenage escapist.

There is not one person in this world that is not cripplingly sad about something. You remember that before you open your mouth.

We forget about this. All the damn time. We only think about our feelings that sometimes, we don't consider anyone else's. We are so focused on ourselves and our own set of emotions that we forget that not everyone feels the same way that we do. I personally feel very uncomfortable each time someone tells me to stop being so sad over such a fickle matter because let me wallow in my sadness, I will get better soon. Eventually. Thank you for your concern but by telling me to refrain from being disappointed/upset/unhappy, you're only making things worse. I think it's far more healthy to recognize my feelings than to pretend that they don't exist, just as long as they don't consume my entire being and break me. They will pass. They always do. But the sting of your words? They leave an imprint.

Next time, choose your words carefully.
