Behind my very own, hot pink curtain

Location

Hot pink. 

VERY hot pink.

Bright, happy cheerful.

Right?

You would think so wouldn't you?

But behind it...

Theres me.

Just me.

Someone asked me once "what are some words you use to describe yourself?

I answered: "fun, bubbly, outgoing, and silly."

All true.

Most of the time anyway.

That's what my curtain says I am ALL the time.

But sometimes I'm not.

If he had asked me on a different day, I might have said

"Depressed, alone, afraid, confused... and fat."

Then I came across someone.

She managed to lift up my curtain.

I thought she would turn away once she knew the truth.

But she didn't.

That's when she lifted up her curtain too. And on her arms were written the same words I had penned a thousand times.

"Depressed, alone, afraid, confused... and fat."

Maybe.

Just maybe.

I'm not alone after all.

That's exactly how I felt when I found my soon to be wife, she dug deeper into my depression then anyone else had.
