Today, I really feel it. I feel so spent, so emotionally drained. The events of the past weeks, the loss in my family, and the demands on my time by so many people seem to have really taxed me.  I have had no one to really talk to and who really listens to me.   They see me but they don’t…Does everyone assume that I am always okay.   I have been crying inside for awhile now.   The smile you see is masking a soul that simply wants to be loved as deeply as he loves.

Is that even real?
