> I'm sick and tired of wearing the "everything- it's -fine" mask every single day.
^^^^^^^^^^
Then take it off and allow others to see that person underneath the mask ... let them see the "real" you. Do you think they will like what they "see"? Don't base your peace of mind in making others happy. This never works.
> I'm sick and tired of listening to the other people problems when nobody is listening to me.
^^^^^^^^^^
As I'm sure they're equally "sick and tired" of listening to you; however, you're missing the real beauty of this. By listening to others, you can understand yourself better ... and you'll be doing a kind of "dual-service": helping yourself while helping others. Isn't that wonderful? Isn't that what it's all about?
> I'm tired of lying to friends, always finding an excuse for not going out/hanging out with them.
^^^^^^^^^^
Then seek out those who do what you do, or want to do, but remember: you reap what you sow.
> I'm tired of smiling. I wish i could scream, i wish i could tell everybody i'm sick.
^^^^^^^^^^
In Anatomy 101 at UCONN, I learned that you use less energy to smile because the act itself involves less facial muscular movement. Screaming doesn't become you, my dear, nor anyone else.
> ... i'm 32
^^^^^^^^^^
Just 32 and already "sick and tired." This is not good but this can change if you want it to. Stand fast!(PERSONAL SIDE NOTE: find out why it's always "sick and tired" and never "tired and sick.")
You have the gift of being alive during the most incredible period of human history ... have you ever wondered why you were "chosen" to be alive at this particular time, sitting in front of a cathode-ray tube reading a message from a "kazoo"?
Seize the time and relish it.
