i immediately go silent when something upsets or hurts me. it's a coping mechanism i have developed over time. instead of expressing my anger or frustration, i simply withdraw and try to process my emotions in private.
The older you get, the more you realize some relationships end because they are temporary people who taught you permanent lessons. It's crazy how peaceful life becomes when you start learning, healing, and raising the bar on who has access to your body, heart, and soul.
