People love saying โmental health mattersโ until someone is struggling right in front of them. suddenly itโs silence, awkwardness, jokes, and everyone pretending not to notice. hardly anyone checks in, listens, or stays close when it actually matters. then tragedy happens, and suddenly everyone has memories, sympathy, and something to say. care about people while theyโre still here and hurting, not once the damage is already done.
every time i get hurt i decide to change and become a more distant person, but suddenly i go back being talkative and kind as if nothing had happened. and that basically sums up the kind of person i am
