how would you feel if you ask your friend if he's happy and he answers "yes!" as convincingly as he can.. yet despite the cheerful smile painted on his lips you can see the pained, lonely, desperate look in his eyes and you know that it's a lie. a facade. and you hear the silent cry for help.
silence.
your friend is too proud to ask you for help,
too proud to cry in front of other people's judging, pitying eyes,
too proud to admit that he's losing the strength to hold on.
what would you do?
ask anyway? probe deeper if he denies it? wait until he gets up the nerve to take off that mask? give him a hug?
turn away.
pretend you didn't see it.
keep playing the part of the friend who keeps him company, who makes him laugh, who shares a few drinks with him when the night gets unbearably lonely..
let him cry himself to sleep every night. he'll snap out of it eventually.
"what doesn't kill you makes you stronger."
bullshit.
