People think my life is so perfect.

[DemureRose]

I’ve always been pretty good at hiding things. Emotions. Feelings. Thoughts. And I think that has led people to believe I am this perfect specimen with the perfect life. Now I’m not saying I have a horrible life but I do face challenges. Right now I’m on vacation and when I told some of my friends they responded with “man I wish I was rich”. They don’t know that my mom has a bad childhood and wants my brother and I to have experiences. I say I’m dreading coming home and they get upset with that. They don’t know that my family is falling apart. My uncle was just admitted into a rehabilitation center for the upteenth time for alcoholism. They don’t know that we are scared to go away sometimes because he may accidentally kill my aunt or cousins. They just don’t know. And they act annoyed when I complain as if I don’t have the right to complain. We all have our challenges. Some of us just don’t show them to the world.
