Now that you have found your paradise.

Just curious if anyone out there is truly happy? Or is it meerly a front to others just so they dont see your sadness? I know im not really happy,but to others i always say i am.I don’t understand this odd feeling of wanting to hide sadness from everyone.Just something i was kinda thinking about today.

Hopefully it’ll get better if a certain special guy says yes.

I think everyone at some point has felt the need to hide their pain away from at least one person. Personally, I do it all the time. I do it because I don’t want to upset anyone with my troubles.

It’s a condition thing.

We learn thru experience that people shy away from those who seem down and out, unless they are down and out as well. So we hide our sadness because we want company more than resolution!

At least that is how it works for me.

we also have to ask, how many people are trying to hide it from themselves?

you know sometimes people are happy, there are brief glimpses of an eternal smile that come in our days. even on our bad days we can forget for a minute, and just be happy, until we think back to why we were sad. we have so much crap to deal with all the time its rough, people arent happy anymore then they are sad, but being happy is nice, and even to fake it can make you feel better. Plus who wants to deal with perpetually sad people all the time? its ok in the end,there always soemthign to smile about.
