Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

So life's pretty rough right now. So far my family's had two deaths, one person currently dieing, and another diagnosed with cancer (a type they aren't sure how to treat no less) all since the end of March.

Needless to say I haven't been feeling particularly cheerful lately, and it's been affecting my attendance/performance in school.

I'm really good at putting on a mask though, so I don't know that anyone has realized that anythings wrong. I've told only a couple of people so far.

Right now I'm trying to decide if I should explain myself to everyone or if I should just let them think whatever they want about me.

I'm not much of one for accepting pity, and I hate letting people know when I'm feeling weak, but, at the same time, I don't want them to take my lack of participation in life right now as any kind of insult to them or major character flaw in me.

I don't know.
