This is a story about a little boy who had some difficulties growing up. He used to see other kids at school running around, happy but never really gotten or saw any reason for them to be as he felt like he was never supposed to be happy because of the responsibilities he felt as though he had as a kid. And teachers at school would always talk about him in such a way that they would always asked him to help them carry their staff to the staff-room just so that other teachers could see how he is coping in each and every after first class. But he had that belief of saying "Some things are best left unspoken because it would be just a waste of time to talk".
The depth of the responsibilities he felt that he had ARE not disclosed. But as the time went by he started isolate himself more from other kids. What was interesting and touching though is that he always had good intentions for others, even though that might not be understood at times but whenever he sees someone sad, lonely, depressed etc. he would try by all means that the person forgets about the situation for at least as long as he can be with that person. He was not even 17 but he was already on grown-ups' situations and world. The mother knew that the son is having this problem and also knew the cause but never had control to change the situation up until he moved the boy to a family friend.
When he was 14 years old the mother talked to her friend about the situation and how worried she was about the son. Her worry was mostly that her son will not ever be happy because he would always try to make other people happy forgetting that he needed happiness for himself because of the things he saw growing up and experienced but it was kind of too late because He suffers from effects of that of those matters. HE NOW, sometimes have mental break downs and treated for chronic illness.
So things you do not say now will haunt you in a long run. And they might and will actually affect your daily life. And people he lives with most the times always say "Your problem is that You care too MUCH". And that really hits him and he gets so frustrated every time he does something great.
Some incidents cost people their life time. It is a great thing to talk about things that matters more especially if they involve emotions with them.
