It’s not a bad thing to be lighthearted about the world, but the problem is, few people are. I am not lighthearted. I may come off that way, but I don’t feel that way. Perception is everything, and people don’t bother to dig deeper following first impressions. There’s no need to worry about the girl who is so closely followed by laughter, you would think it was her shadow.
I can’t speak for the great Robin Williams, but I can say that I know what it’s like to feel hopeless, to not want to get out of bed in the morning. But there are moments in life I wouldn’t give up for anything: Seeing a smile on my brother’s face after he wins a tennis match; the satisfaction of having a meal so delicious that you can’t believe it’s real and getting a kiss from a loved one. Those are the moments worth living for, and those are the moments that don’t need sugar coating. They are real and they are yours.
As I grow older, I have learned to cherish these memories more and to not let them go. I keep them in the safe of my head, where no one can take them away from me, where no one can see. These are the things that keep me going and they don’t need laughter to make me happy.
