I'm Not LAZY!!!

It's crazy how alone we can feel in a room or even an arena full of people isn't it??...there is nothing worse then having to put on a happy face and pretend you are happy or enjoying yourself when all you really want to do is curl up in bed and sleep the day away...I've had days like that and it's not fun...I know having days like that are especially hard when you're a teen or young adult, because people expect you to be a certain way and sleeping in bed all day is NOT acceptable, because then you are called lazy and told that you're wasting your life away....which is not the case...I think that parents need to take a step back and think befor they come pull their kids out of bed...Parents need to consider that there could be something more than their child just 'sleeping their day away'....for example if this child has been in bed since 9pm and it's now 1pm chances are there is something going on...instead of going in and starting WWIII parents should sit at the edge of their childs bed and ask them if everything is alright...I know that even when that child pulls the cover over their head and asks their parent to leave, deep down they are relieved that someone came up to check on them...the truth is when we feel like just sleeping the day away, it's always comforting when someone comes to check on us...annoying also, but still comforting!

When I'm having a bummy day (that's what I call mine) I like to write...writing is an excellent way to let out whatever you're feeling...because you're basically having a conversation that is uninterrupted which is sweet!...for me the best thing is writing what i'm feeling and why...some times it's hard to express through talking exactly how we feel or when we do get it out it's really disappointing when the other person has no idea what we mean...then we're left regretting telling them in the first place...so for me writing it down makes me feel a lot better because i'm getting everything out and I don't have to worry about not being understood...and the other good thing about writing down your feelings is that it's for your eyes only...it's totally up to you whether you want anyone else to know what you're feeling at that moment...so when you're at that concert or family gathering you can text on your phone or send yourself an email with what you're really feeling at that moment...and who knows, maybe after you send your 'feelings email' to yourself you can really enjoy where you are and not fake it!
