Today, my friend noticed that I was more cheerful than usual. I smiled and laughed heartily at her remarks. The truth is, I was crying my heart out last night, and I am afraid that the people around me will notice the emptiness in my eyes. This has always been my coping mechanism. If I am more cheerful than I usually am, it is a sign that I am going through an existential crisis. I am trying to hide how broken I am with waves of laughter, hearty smiles, and a cheerful tone, trying as much as I can to cover and fill the void in my heart. So if you ever notice how unusually cheerful I am, don't point it out and don't ask questions...just let me be.
