“Ultimately the first, best step in getting your work noticed is to write good work. If people don’t engage in your writing, no amount of serialization or free downloads is going to matter. You have to write something worth reading, and often it takes time to get at that level.”

- John Scalzi (via writingquotes)

ALL I WANT TO DO IS READ but instead I have to go out into the real world 

I look sad

So, I have a resting bitch face. You know, that face which people usually see and said “why are you angry?” or “smile a little bit”. And I’m used to those comments.
Also, my skin tone is kind of yellowish-green some times, like someone sick. So many people ask me if I’m feeling bad or something (specially on winter time. I look like a zombie).
But lately I noticed my faced had changed. I look sad. I see my face in the mirror in my bathroom and it looks ok. Probably because when I wake up I look normal. But when I catch my reflection in random mirrors or windows, I look sad. My eyes look tired and sad. I try to smile but my face look sadder.

So why? Why I look sad? I don’t feel particularly sad sometimes. The mixture of emotions could make me think I’m not sad at all, thou. I know I have problems and I’m trying to get over them, but that doesn’t mean I have to go outside with a sad face. Or can I? Can I show the world I feel sad and I want changes in my life to feel finally happy? Do I have to put a mask to confront society because every time someone ask me if I’m ok I have to lie?

I’ve been lying to myself then. I got used to the mask. I trick myself on being fine when I’m crushed inside. And I can’t help it. I don’t want people asking me what’s wrong cause I’m going to feel worse. I’m avoiding problems because I want to “look fine” instead of “feel fine”.

Don’t do this. Don’t just look fine. Do something that makes you feel fine. And if you feel sad, it’s ok too. We are not one plain emotion. We are allow to feel tons of things.

Stay strong

Today I realized that when Harry went to go visit his parents’ grave for the first time, James and Lily had already spent more time sharing a grave than they had alive together, and that is how I almost got into a car accident.
