Another Sunday Post? What?

Apparently, on Sundays I have a lot to say. And thank goodness for good friends who either listen to me or tell me to shut up. :) It's useful to have a blog though where I can share my personal thoughts and ideas with any and everyone. Guess I get some sort of validation from it...

ANYWAYS

I saw this quote this afternoon and really felt the need to share it with you.

"I love a rainy day...no pressure to be happy or sunny." - Idina Menzel

This just makes me think about the facade that we (or at least my self in all honestly) tend to put on for others so they can't see inside our thoughts and desires. Or can see into our hardships and failures. And while I do believe we should be honest with one another, it makes me wonder why aren't we? When you see someone and they ask you "How's it going?" it doesn't necessarily seem like the right time to get in your tragic life history. It's much easier to say "everything's fine" and walk on. The sad thing is that in today's life, as the person asking, expect this reply and don't bother getting our hands dirty with the details. So why do we even bother asking?

To wrap this all up, I've just been thinking about how fortunate I am to be honest and open with the friends I have. When they ask me how I'm doing, they genuinely want to know. They're really interested in the good things, but also the struggles and for that I am really grateful.

In a sense, I know I can trust my "rainy days" to my friends. I never feel a pressure to be something I'm not when I'm with them. There's really no need to fake emotions.
