I found a quote the other day and thought I would share it. :)

--Sometimes, that girl who seems so strong, who never lets what people say bother her, who smiles and laughs with her friends all the time, is really the girl who, deep down, is falling to pieces.


At times in my life, this was me. I've always been the person people come to when they have a problem, whether it be boys, friends, or something else. I've always put up the happy, cheery face, no matter what's happening. People don't understand how I really feel. I hide my true emotions and don't let go. I guess I've learned this from not telling people how I really felt about my dad being arrested when I was 9, or never feeling like people understood what I was going through. Yeah, I had my family, but I just kept it in for some reason. And right now, I couldn't tell you that reason. But I'm starting to let that go. I'm starting to tell people how I truly feel, and you know what, it actually helps. :) I know, I know, you're probably thinking I'm crazy for just now realizing this, but talking helps. It truly does. And even though I act happy all the time, and am always cheerful, the truth is, I'm sometimes not. But people who know me, and truly know me, see this, and try and help me. And that is what I call true friendship.
