Do you ever feel like, your world is a soap opera? In the sense, that things change so much in such a short period of time? It’s like, one day something happens, and then the next day is a completely different scene change, erasing all the events from the day before. But maybe, you’re not ready for a scene change. You’re not ready for one particular moment to end. It always does, though. And you’ll always feel that sting of disappointment. But there’s nothing you can do about it. The show must go on. So you plaster that smile on your face and pretend that you’re just as happy as can be. That’s always fun, isn’t it? All the pretending. Like you’re reading a script, saying lines that you know everyone wants to hear. Your real feelings play no part in how you’re acting. Because you’re scared of what will happen if everyone knows how you feel. You know the story of Pandora’s box? If you don’t, look it up. But that’s kind of how it is. If you open that box and let everything out, you can’t take it back. You can’t unopen it, and you can’t put it back in the box and lock it up again. You deal with the consequences, whatever they may be. Sometimes it’s a good thing, though. Keeping things bottled up inside really isn’t that healthy. You should let it out every now and then. Just be careful. If it ends up being a mistake, then just deal with it, and wait for a scene change. A lot of times, things get better and end up working themselves out.
