Today, I’m here to warn you that you are being lied to. Our parents, teachers, our doctors have lied to us. And it’s the exact same line. The same 6 words… EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE OKAY.
But what if it isn’t? What if some of human experience is something you inherit like curly hair or blue eyes? What if pain is just in your DNA, and tragedy is in your birthright? But what if sometimes right out of the blue, when you least expect it, sh#% just happens… sh#% just happens.
Okay, I’m sure right now you’re thinking, man, this is the darkest hello I’ve ever heard. And it is. I agree with you. But I’ve spent so much time waiting for this lie to come true that I had to finally post these words to tell the truth.
I’m not okay, not at all. The truth is I’m missing something… the thing I love the most. An imagined past. The past that never was, and I’ll never get back. My entire life has been spent behind these walls.
So, what do I do with that? What do any of us do, besides lie? This is what I believe. Right now, there is someone out there, someone who is willing to pick you up, dust you off, kiss you, forgive you, put up with you, wait for you, carry you, love you. So while everything may not be okay. One thing I know is true, you do not have to be alone.
I want you to know that I’m showing you just one side of me here. There are many sides, but if anything I’ve said at all makes sense, I’d like to hear from you. Don’t worry about what you’ll say. Just email or write me. I need to know that I’m not alone.
