Mirth and Melancholy

To young ones, ups and downs sound fun, until they learn what that means. Ups and downs in our life can really hurt us. One day we'll be feeling so great, and another we'll feel so alone and depressed. I know that firsthand. When I was younger, I passionately hated the idea of depression, because I had the idea that only dramatic girly girls got depressed and had emotional breakdowns. And I stayed true to my rules for a few years, playing it cool every time I was emotionally hurt. However, as the years passed, I discovered that I, through several trials and tests, was also a dramatic girly girl. I found myself crying in my solitude and smiling among company. The worst part about it all was, nobody cared enough to notice. But that was fine with me, because I didn't want to attract attention and make a big deal out of nothing.

After finishing for the day, I scrolled up and down the page to see if I could find anymore posts related to my book, but a post with huge freakin' paragraphs stopped me. I stopped scrolling to read the title. "Today something happened." Well. Gotta love the creativity I had back then. I read through the post, and it was definitely worth it, so I thought I should share! #throwbackthursday to when I wrote the most hilarious post ever! This is really convenient because this post was actually written and posted on a Thursday. Here's the link to the post! Today something happened. Until next time! :)
