When you’ve been told your whole life how beautiful the world is, you force yourself to see color, beauty, & magic. You force yourself to feel hope, optimism, freedom, but most of us feel like we’re trapped in the dark. So many have seen & heard true evil, experienced & lived through horror, felt real heart break. To most, the world is anything but beautiful. We choose to live without genuinely living, we hide, we hate, & other times we tell our pain that it will only go away if we pay the price for living. Mental illness is a real thing & too many of us never see light after darkness
