I act like I have a bad life..

I have everything a girl wants

A bestfriend

A loving family

A great church family

An awesome school

A great pastor

Just everything is so amazing

Yet I write about all these negative

Things.. lord knows, I'm not like that in person

I'm happy

I'm excited

Yet when I write nothing positive

Comes out.. Why..

I have a perfect life..

Why, oh why don't I get it??

I think it is writing about the negative that allows us to be positive in the rest of life.

Writing can heal. Writing can be the ear you need when no one else is around to hear your worlds. We write to live, to create, to grow, to understand. Just the little glimpses here, I hardly call your writing ultra depressive or negative. Never fear what you write. If it reveals something scary, work on it. As someone that has battled depression throughout life, I can say my writing helped to keep it at bay, especially when it truly revealed the scary things. For, those moments broke through my ego and helped me ask for help. You can have a 'perfect' life and still feel low. That is, life. That, and the ability to work through the rough parts so as to truly cherish the good parts. Have a loving family? Be sappy and let them know. You might be amazed at how important it is to just spontaneously do such things for no other reason than to do it. Have a bestfriend? Be grateful and let the friend know. I know people with hardly a friend at all. Great church and pastor. Let them know, in the ways you can. None of us roam through life with 100% positiveness. Do not worry that you still feel some negative things nipping at you. That is not a bad thing in and of itself.

Thank you so much for that!! All the time people tell me I'm depressed or that I write sad things.. It's just what comes to mind when I write!! Thank you for that. And I also got called Taylor swift bc I write about my problems and they made fun of me. @fantastical
