How to function while your broken.

Why am I gonna lie to you there is basically no possible way to do this, but here are some tips on how to get by:

You just smile and pretend you are OK. Even the most forced smiles will get you by.

You talk to people and hope that they do not realize that half of the things they are telling you are not even processing in your brain, but you nod and you smile and pretend you are all ears.

You say “YES!” to every possible invite you get even if it means doing things you dont enjoy, but at least you get a distraction out of it.

You do not let your mind go dark! Number one rule!

So what that means is you get your ass up!

You go for a run even if you hate running.

You go to the gym even if you’re clueless where to begin.

You call your friends whom you haven’t spoke to in ages and ask to hangout even you don’t really like spending time with them. Sometimes the most annoying ones end up being your last option but the most available so just deal with it.

You will probably drink a little too much because being drunk definitely helps and that is totally fine just do not over do it like I do.

or over do it who cares at this point right?

and the number one thing is you sleep! Sleep it all off. You can’t feel a thing while you sleep

or at least I don’t so that’s helped me quite a bit.

You take on any hobbies, as long as your mind stays busy, maybe reading, maybe writing like I am right now.

And if you’ve made it this far down my list you’ll realize that most of these things have helped me get by but there is no way I can continue lying and tell you it’ll get any better because the only thing that I can tell you is that TIME is the only thing that heals all.

When the time is right you’ll do all these things because you enjoy them and not as a distraction.

You’ll smile because you want to and not because you have to.

So keep on pretending until you do not have to pretend anymore.

I promise you one day it will all get better.
