I just wanna be me again

[catyuy]

I miss: being a child, being genuinely happy almost constantly, being secure in the knowledge that I was loved & that everything would work out.

As an adult: my happiness is fleeting & rare, I worry that most people don't actually like me, I live each day having no idea how any single person in a low income job is supposed to survive in this economy.

Most of all, I miss me. I don't even know who I am any more.
