I don’t want to burden my family or make anyone feel responsible for my situation, so I’ve been keeping everything to myself. But it’s getting heavy. I’m trying to stay strong, but some days it feels like I’m barely holding it together. I just needed to say this somewhere.
i listen to my favorite song and look the texture of my rooms walls. i pick at my own skin. no one will ever care about my lived experience as much as i will so i must live for myself as much as i can
