Really..

Correct me if i'm wrong, but isn't it a norm for people to smile in photos? Seriously, its not really common practice to take 'kodak' moments of people crying or sulking or feeling like life is in the pits isn't it..

Why do people keep finding the need to tell me how good it is to see me smiling in my photos? Do you really think its encouraging, or comforting?

It's just as bad as saying 'i know what you're going through' because you fucking don't..

Is it really such a big deal that i choose not to sit at home in a dark corner and cry my eyes out, or walk the classic stereotype of a broken hearted girl?

I wish people would stop telling me how brave I am, or how strong I am, or how happy I look...

There are those of you who really can make me smile, and that I love you for, and wish I had more of you..and I love even more how you don't keep telling me that i'm smiling..

But those of you who come out of nowhere..and think you're being concerned or supportive, stop it. Because you just don't know. And it hurts even more every time you think you're helping.
