Isn't It Funny?


Janus

367 views

Isn't it funny how in the midst of tragedy you're still expected to smile?

 

How when all you truly desire is to curl into a ball and scream at the world. To hide, to dissapear.

 

You're supposed to show a happy facade to the world.

 

When darkness encroaches into your very being you're supposed to laugh and shrug it off. Pretend that nothing phases you.

 

Isn't it funny?

 

No.

 

It never has been, it never will be. I'm not a machine and I'm not unfeeling. I appear standoffish and that's my curse.

 

But I do not expect this. I may lose someone.

 

Forever.

 

Enough the smiling. Let me hurt.

It's ridiculous, these people expecting a perfect utopia of smiles and glee. The world is grey for a reason.

Dear Janus, 'laughing it off' only works and should only work for silly little things that don't matter in the end. Anyone who says otherwise has clearly never been through anything really painful.

 

*hug* I love you. :(

The best thing to do is to not look at death as so absolute.

 

Pretend, regardless of others around you or the circumstances, that the person you're grieving for is in fact standing next to you, both of you observing the same view.

 

Think then of asking them how THEY think you should be feeling at that moment... what the right emotion to be having at that moment is.

 

Because really, it's not impossible that there might be a tangible emotion given back in response.

'preciate it, Jinzo.

 

But it wasn't death, we were talking about.

 

It was complete 'stuck-in-the-loony-bin' forever.

 

It got resolved, mostly.
