Throughout time, people have been chased around by fear. Fear of animals, fear of the dark, fear of parents. At one point I was scared to look at my own refelction because I was scared that there'd be something behind me. My main fear, however.... I'm scared of being left. Some of you know what I mean, some don't. I'm not going to go into detail ant it all, but essentially, I've had a lot of people in my life say that they'd always be there for me and then just got up and walked out without saying so much as a goodbye. From time to time, I began to wonder, 'what good is it making friends if they're all just going to leave anyway?' But what good would that do? I'd be alone. Even though I know that one day, the best friend that I have right now may not be there anymore, I take advantage of the time that they are with me. Sure it may hurt when they do leave, but at least I have those memories to remember them by, right? That is why I'm going to stay strong and be nice to everyone I meet. Maybe I'll meet someone who feels like I do. Maybe I'll pull them from their darkness like my friends who have pulled me from mine. Sometimes, all a person needs to hear is that they are worth it. A smile, maybe. Making people smile is what makes me forget about my fear; it's what makes me strong even when I feel like breaking down and crying.
