Vent warning. My girlfriend had asked me a while ago. 'why don't you smile often?' when she asked it I didn't really know but now I do. I don't smile a lot because Im so used to not having much to smile about. I have a resting face of a frown not because I'm upset or sad it's because at one point that's is all I was feeling.. sadness.. guilt.. unmotivated.. I had nothing to smile about in my mind. I had this feeling for so long that I tend to smile on the inside more then the outside. Yet I tend to not show sadness either. Mainly because of what my dad says. 'you have nothing to cry about' or my step dad with 'ill give you something to cry about' or my mom 'you have no reason to be sad' ... I held onto these words and I use them on myself without even knowing it. And with that new mind set I used to put on a happy mask. That if I don't show that I'm not okay that it would get better. A band-aid over a gash that was growing... Soon that mask started to crack. And when I kept denying it and poeple kept buying it I started to get upset. Thinking 'why cant they see I'm hurting they know something's off why do they just brush it off like it's nothing.. ' but.. someone did notice.. I mean I was able to be so much more open with her and my feelings.. it was my girlfriend.. she's here for me and I'm here for her.. Im still having trouble opening up more but.. she helps me.. I don't know what I'd do with out her...
