The Death of Sorrow

I thought that I was past sadness. I thought that I had defeated it, but now I realize that I had just hidden it away to let it grow stronger. Now it's trapped somewhere deep inside of me where I cannot get it out. The longer the sadness festers inside of me, the stronger it gets, but the key to letting it out was lost a long time ago.

I'm left a bit speechless.

I was unsure if I was going to release this or not at first, but now I think it's important to share. Things never got quite as bad for me as shown in this story, and hopefully others will realize that they will always have someone to go to so that they don't even come close. If you ever find yourself even approaching a situation like this, reach out to your friends. They can and will help you.

The ending might have left me sad, but your Author's note helped to put a small smile on my face. I'm glad that you released the story and shared a bit about your true self. I think its all to common for people to hide their pain and suffering behind masks, as Carter did; I know I did and still do to a degree. It is very isolating and depressing. But you are right about having friends to reach out to: someone who accepts you even if you are broken, who listens and supports, and walks with you through your struggles. They can be a God-send, and help bring life back into oneself. True friendship really is magic.
