tough as nails, you’re so inspiring. the way you bottle up emotions & hide your pain behind the strength you gained from running away. every single time. you occupy yourself with a facade of who you wish to become, i think it’s working.. is it working? i don’t think it’s working. maybe it is working, maybe you just need to stay positive. it’s simple. all you have to do is listen to a million motivational speeches & tell yourself that everything will be ok eventually. but will it? try shutting everyone out of your life, mask all of your feelings. did that work? have you tried drowning in your emotions & re-visiting your past? maybe if you actually speak about what’s going on in your head.. wait, no! a victim should never play the victim, not a good look. be silent. show emotion. be strong. raise hell. never let them see you frown. uhhh? why are you so hard? do you have emotions? have you tried crying? have you tried venting?
