They kick you when you're down

What's wrong? Who hurt you? Are you okay?

Eh. Nothing happened. I was just thinking about how i use my sunny disposition as protection. I think most people cope with the world by getting less sensitive and more self-centered. most of the time I just stay too happy to be hurt by people not knowing, but when I get down, which happens from time to time, the exact same treatment that I normally get feels hurtful and insensitive, even though it's just that most people don't notice how i'm feeling, and just expect me to be as happy and compliant as I normally am. but when things suck, all I need is just to notice one little happy thing, or one thoughtful gesture, to get my sunshine back. and then, when I'm happy again, i have to remember not to get sad again, but I can't be afraid of getting sad, because that makes me less happy.

I admire that you let yourself get excited about the little things and are always cheery.
