Hiding

I've kind of been hiding behind pictures and quotes lately. They just seem to express how I feel a lot better than the words I could think to say. I'm not very good with words. Maybe it's this headache I've had for the last week. Maybe it's the brand new cold that snuck up on me. Maybe it's all this change that's been happening. Maybe it's nothing at all. Maybe I just can't think of anything to say.
But.. you know what?
It's okay to hide.
Because sometimes.. life hurts. Sometimes life just seems to cave in on you. Sometimes you really don't want to exist. This doesn't mean you wish you were dead. This doesn't mean you wish you were never born. It just means you want to hide from the pain and stop feeling just for a little while.
And this is perfectly okay.

And....I haven't just been moping around the house, hiding under the covers.
I've been painting. Lots of painting, lots of styles.. I've been all over the place.

I think what I need is to get over this cold and go on an adventure.
