I randomly wandered across this quoting. I feel so bleak at times, and the gods know that I live by and through Murphy's Law. Everything that this quote is talking about is how life makes me feel.
Well the real me is known, I am not the bright happy person that I let the outside world see. I am dark, sad, and have a biting angered wit. I have to wonder what would happen if I let people in my life see me for what I really am, I mean other then in this biased diary.
Interesting thought, do you not think?
