No matter how good of a day it's been, no matter how beautiful the weather was, these days people can say a single sentence, phrase, or word, and they can ruin it all. Especially today. I don't think I've been in such a horrible mood before today simply by what people did and said. And the thing is, it was all different people, different events, different times and places. It's not a time-of-the-month thing. I'm not particularly stressed out about anything these days. So I don't know why I'm super emotionally sensitive.

One... just one kind word would have made my whole day so much better. One act of kindness would have voided everything else. One genuine smile could have made a huge difference. I was searching for those things all day today, and didn't find what I was looking for.




Tonight I'm going to sleep with a heavy heart for the first time in a long time.
