we'll never be as bright as we are now
Hi, I think you know who you are: I'm sorry for judging you )': I didn't think I was judging you, but I thought about it and realised anyone normal would interprete it that way. Sorry for jumping into conclusions so quickly and accusing you when you obviously expected me - of all people - to know better. ):
I hate it when I don't practice what I preach. This is a reminder:
- see that boy doing his homework in homeroom? … he couldn’t do it last night because he was too busy talking his best friend out of suicide.
- see that girl, with her face caked in make up? … she’s bullied, she needs to feel beautiful.
- see him, the one who wears long sleeves everyday? … he covers his arms to hide the scars.
- see her, with the cheap, hand-me-down clothes? … her family can’t afford food for half the month, let alone get brand names.
- see the girl who laughs and smiles at every little thing? … she cries herself to sleep every night.
- wonder why she never lets her friends over her house? … because she’s afraid they’ll see her dad passed out drunk on the floor, as always.
- see how that girl cringes as rape jokes? … she was raped.
- see the boy who everyone goes to for advice? … he wishes someone would do the same for him.
- see the girl who never brings a lunch? … she’s disgusted by her body.
- see her, with the little waist? … she goes to the bathroom and forces herself to throw up so that she can keep her waist that way.
- see the boy over there, see the dark circles under his eyes? … he has insomnia, he fears what he’ll see in his dreams.
- see the boy biting his nails? … he has cancer and he’s wondering how much time he has left.
- see your best friend? … she’s addicted to drugs, but she can’t tell you because you wont understand.
- see that boy reading all about 9/11? … his parents died on that day.
- see her, with her phone on her at all times? … she’s waiting for a call saying her sister was found after a kidnapping 4 years ago.
