Am I okay? No, I'm not. I haven't been feeling right. I feel so out of place, trying to stay upbeat. The truth is I'm lonely. Terribly lonely. I feel as though no one cares about what I say, that whatever I say is completely irrelevant. I want someone to just give me a long hug and tell me that they care about me. I always have my friends around me, yet I feel so alone. But I don't say anything. I just flash my big, cheesy smile at them and nod my head, trying to convince them I'm my usual goofy self, when in reality I'm anything but.
