I feel like the only person in the world who hasn’t gone through trauma or anything negative in my life, yet still has this deep emptiness/sadness inside. Everyone I’ve seen or heard of has suffered traumatic events (even the people around me & characters in the media I consume) & I am the only one who hasn’t. Sometimes—and this makes me sound horrible—I wish I could have a reason to feel as messed up as I do, because then I could blame it on that instead of just me being dramatic.

I feel guilty for being the way I am. I don’t deserve to be sad or angry when I have no real reason to have those emotions in the first place.
