Do you ever have one of those days??

Do you ever have one of those days (or weeks) where you go about your day putting on a happy face for everyone, when inside you're screaming? When it seems like you're trapped in a sound proof box, where no matter how hard you pound on the walls or how loud you scream, no one notices you're hurting? Those times when you feel so empty that you search through all your old notes and ticket stubs and fill yourself up with the memories? When every time you see your old friends walking down the halls at school, you wonder what you could've done wrong to end your friendship? Or watching those who are your friends now, and wondering how long it'll take for them to forget about you? Those days when you don't want to reply with the traditional "I'm fine" when someone asks how you're doing, yet you still do? Do you ever have one of those days? I do.

Yup...very well put... Kinda crazy how the first thing we ask anyone is 'how are you', but rarely really mean it...and even less often answer honestly...

Yes yes yes! I know EXACTLY what you're saying...only because it was so extremely well written! The only thing I would've changed is in the sentence "look at old ticket stubs" or whatever you amazingly wrote there, I would say "and watch an old play you directed" Haha! Oh boy.

that was really, really good. like, really good. (haha i swear i'm not really this inarticulate) it's such a great way to describe those times, "those times you feel so empty that you search through your old notes and ticket stubs and fill yourself up with the memories". it's weird to see your friends and know that you might not be best friends forever... anyway, great work!
