things i'll never say #21
i want someone to ask me about the scars on my arm.
eccedentesiasts. there are so many of us that florence king came up with a phrase to label us by. people who fake a smile every day, people who fake a smile on television, people who fake a smile fullstop. it's all a facade of course, a daily routine that at first, we try out to see if it'll work and fool others, and once we realize it does, we feel invincible, like we've discovered the world's greatest lie. but then, that thrill and short moment of invincibility only lasts a while, until we realize that perhaps it isn't such a good idea to be eccedentesiasts. but by then, it's already too late. because we've managed to fool everyone. and to simply say "those smiles weren't real, but my hurt was, and still is." may not be enough for them to believe.
