I fake things every day. With one side of my family i hide my psycological issues, for the other i hide my religious choices. For both i hide how their actions affect me. All most people except for the rare person see me as this happy, strong person whom they can all lean on. I put on a face of some sort for all people in my life except for my husband because some will never understand others will go on tangents about how its my religious choices that are causing this and im being punished, and yet others will say its all in my head (for that one i feel like saying duh... its psychological issues, just cause i aint bleeding doesnt mean they arent very real). We put on these masks as a form of self defense, i long for the day when 'normal' people understand what we go through on a daily basis.... just never, ever forget how strong you are.
