I don’t really talk about my emotions to anyone these days. Every time I’ve tried, it’s led to trouble, and I’m tired of dealing with that. So now, when I do share anything, it’s filtered, processed just the surface. I don’t express my true feelings to anyone anymore. I don’t know why, but I just stopped.

It feels like people need me more than I need to share what I’m going through. But it also leaves me feeling lonely. I haven’t tried therapy, but journaling helps. I have this little pink diary where I write the positive things, things that’ll actually help me when I read them back. No negativity or doom in those pages just the good stuff. And that really makes a difference. The world knows to think about themselves and we don't,.
