Hello to anyone who reads this.

(And honestly feel super sad right now..)
But I hope you're all doing well..
I'm 27 now..

Those were good times..
Anyway. Please have a good day today.
I hope you're all doing well..

Take care..

I get sad a lot actually.. ^^;
Either with listening to sad songs, or just things going on in my head..
Hence, I write prose and poems and stuff.
But I hope you're doing well Timmy.
Take care.

I am doing well, my friend. But I do worry about you when you are sad. You often build a wall around yourself and do not allow folk to be inside it with you.

Sometimes we need a ladder to let other good folk behind our walls.

I'll be okay. Smile
I'm used to being sad...
Not that that makes it any better.

A lot of the time, I don't feel like I'm real.
I don't know what that means. I feel like there's more then one me, in here.
And that I'm just borrowing everything from him.

Josh has everything.
And I don't. I don't know who I am..
I don't know what it means to be real.
Most times, my darker half will say things like I'm not worth anything, and how no one would want me..

It's just hard to deal with. But we deal with it..
Cause we have to.

But of course, I can't tell anyone.
Cause it would hurt more if we did.
I'm just borrowing everything from Josh.
I write poems almost daily. Most of them are sad, or about self-harm, which I've experienced..

When I say "I", I don't know who I'm referring to.
Most times I just fake it. I'm able to have good and happy times.
But aside from that, I'm a wreck..^^;

It's just hard sometimes..
Reading Chris and Nigel cheers me up though.
Thanks for writing that. And sharing it. I think it's beautiful.


I'll be okay.
Somehow...
Thanks though..

I know you'll be ok. That I understand. But I would like some of us, one of us, to be able to let you work out how to be whole and be content. I'm happy that one of my stories cheers you up, and yet, if you allow one of us, some of us, to help you be increasingly content, cheered, cheerful.

Thanks.
I appreciate that.
I think I consider myself to be a mixed bag of emotions.
I can be happy and at the same time, sad.
Does that sound weird?
It might.

I don't know who I am, or who I identify with.
It's strange.
I want to be happy. But at the same time, I don't know if I deserve happiness.

I'm hoping that I can be.
And most of my writings now are sad, or come from a sad place..
I hope it's alright if I post them here.

I can identify with pain. And sadness.
Unfortunately.
I hope that these feelings are my own. Or even one of ours.
That would be nice.

Take care.

"Deserve" is a weird word. I think it was invented in order to let someone reward someone else. You have no need to be rewarded, do you?

You don't need permission to have emotions, happy, sad, euphoric, content, any of these and more. But, if you feel it requires permission, I give you that permission freely and without being asked.
