When you discovered you had shapeshifting powers, you decided to become a superhero. When that didn’t work out, you decided to move to California to become an actor

If you are a girl who was told that the business is for men then my dear, stop believing everything you hear because the world is run by women :)

"I am not happy but now that I think about it, I don't think I ever was." ~ George St. Claire

Can we take a moment to appreciate those oh so loving people in our lives who realise that you are going through a tough time and ask you to share it with them even though you tell them that they can't handle what you are feeling, upon their continued insistence, you tell them anyway and bada bing bada boom, they are shocked by the a fraction of the tempest you hold inside. They promptly ask you to put back what you just realised like it was some kind of loud, embarrassing fart.....shhhhh..........right moment over.

Well, news flash people, emotions are not like pennies dropped on the ground. We cannot yell "Oops" pick them up and put them back in the jar, especially if the jar was already at max volume. People see you communicate with others, see you speak, laugh, pass exams and overcome one problem after the other with a smaller heart and a  much larger prayer, then they think, "Wow that person has it made. He/she is really enjoying life."

Nah man, life has us by the throat and won't let go. This is for those people who cannot express what they feel because they are being held down, and always being told, "it will be alright", or "hang in there" and my personal favourite, "Stop being negative". We have all been nothing but positive and sometimes, the negative drips out through the cracks in our battle warn armour, sometimes the negativity pours and sometimes, sometimes it's a friggin' flood that drowns everyone in its path without remorse.

Sometimes you don't need to be told it will be okay. Sometimes you need to be told that there is no answer and that things really are a mess because sometimes what you need are not false words of encouragement but the truth, that things really are messed up and no one knows how to fix them. What we don't need is another impossible standard of expectation. There is a difference between preparing someone for the future and creating a monster.

Praise to the people who see a person coming to them and have to psyche themselves up so that they can be cordial even when they don't want to be and slap on a smile so charming it would put the devil to shame. These are the people that suffer. The unsung heroes of everyday life. Those that don't want recognition but cannot stomach mediocrity either.

Praise to every, man, woman and child who has to be sweet, funny, charming, delightful and whatever the moment demands for sixteen hours a day then only to sleep for the last eight .🌜🌜

To those who have to be someone they are not simply because the world won't allow you to be who you are. To those who have to smile even when you feel like you can't. To those whose eyes only twinkle and shine because their soul that once shone bright is now as dim as a candle flickering in the night. To those who try even when they have a hundred reasons not to. To those who have a war raging inside them but still fight the good fight. Our time will come and everything will be set right.
