how stinkin’ REAL is this? it brought me to tears.<\/p>\n

too often we appear happy when we are not. when we’re actually depressed, scared, angry, anything but happy on the inside. we put on a happy face and go on our “merry” way. we live with the notion that our self-medicating is “helping” – whether it be porn, drugs, promiscuous sex, over-eating… these aren’t all touched on in the video, but you get it. and you probably relate… relate too closely.<\/p>\n

have you been in a conversation lately that sounded like this? “how are you doing?” and you just quickly replied “good” … but you longed for someone to ask you… “are you really?” stop wearing the happy face. be real. get help.
\nanswer me this… “how are you doing… really?”<\/p>\n
