You are not alone

All of us want to be happy.

But even if we are not we want to put up a face that shows we are. We always want to show our side which makes others beleive everything is just perfect with us.  And most of the times we struggle under the surface with ourselves, alone.

Since everyone around us is pretending to be happy, we think we are alone in our struggles and we try to hide it from everyone and pretend we are happy.

If facebook posts are used as indication of everyone's happiness, then probably none of them should ever have an unhappy moment. But as we all know the reality if far from it. As soon as we scratch the surface we realise how we are not alone in our struggles, how everyone is trying their best to cope in their lives.

The very pain we are trying to hide from others can heal people around us and ourselves if we share it with each other. And we wouldn't feel so lonely.

So -

1. Never feel you are alone in your unhappiness just because everyone around you seems to be happy.
2. Try to find as many people as you can with whom you can share your pain.
3. When someone tries to share their pain with you, welcome and open up.
