Drugs won't take away your pain. Distraction won't take it away either. You literally just need to sit yourself down and talk to yourself about it. No matter how many times people ask if you are ok and try to give you advice, we all know it won't help.
Happiness comes from within. There doesn't have to be a reason, some are just born with it. But for those who have accrued it, find happiness within yourself. It helps. It doesn't cure, because there will always be "those days" that turn into weeks and months. But if you find a small joy within yourself, just for a moment, the smile that comes up on your face is more than worth the effort. Believe it or not, there is someone out there that just wants to see you smile. There is someone that wants to make you happy, and they can't because your eyes are not open to the joy they bring. When you smile, you open a door for someone else to hold up that smile and bring out your light. I've been there and I know it all too well. And all I want is to be the one holding up that smile that you cracked open. Your smile is beautiful and it sets my world on fire.
