I don't want to tell it. I don't want to tell anything.
I guess I'm happier now. I mean, I like being able to do things with my friends, and not always feeling like there's a big hole inside me.
I know I'm not the only one with problems. I just don't want to be a burden.
It's not like I think I'm so great. I just don't want to admit what a loser I am.
Sometimes, it's like the more I get to know people, the more I hate them.
It's like I don't want to be here, but I don't want to not be here, either.
I think the only thing I'm really good at is being miserable.
I don't want to be lucky. I just want to be okay.
Sometimes, I wish I could just... disappear.
I don't want to be invisible. I just don't want to be seen.
I'm so tired of pretending to be okay when I'm not.
I don't know if I believe in happy endings anymore.
