We're all walking around with these glossy eyes.
"I am just tired", we say.
But you know what? It's bullshit.
Yes, we are tired, but it's not all from lack of sleep.
We are tired of waking up with nothing to look forward to,
tired of going to bed exhausted after doing a million things we find no enjoyment in doing.
We are tired of this void, this emptiness that looms over us even though we're surrounded by dozens of people.
So why can't we just say it?
Humans are so afraid to look into each others eyes and say: "I am unhappy, I am broken, I am hopeless and fallible."
We've been conditioned to associate pain with weakness, sadness with coldness, loneliness with unworthiness, difference with disease,
as if these feelings are contagious, as if ambivalence is something not be felt but to be feared.
Well, i say screw it all of that.
Screw forced smiles and polite handshakes and "I am fine, thank yous" .
Screw the fear of crying in a public place, screw the fake chipper voice, screw the lies we spit out to cover up our problems.
We are humans.
We are ment to feel.
To feel everything and to feel it openly. We are not metal - we are flesh and bone.
Our boiled blood courses through our cold, clammy hands. We are intricate and beautiful and we should never hide our human part, because if we do, then
what's left to show?
