i wish i could be the person who turns off their phone when somebody's upset them. who doesn't check their messages for hours, to make them feel bad back. i don't know that I'll ever be able to be like that. i have to know, have to be there to rip myself open again and again to make them pity me, to make them empathize. i don't think anyone will ever notice my pain if i don't shove it down their throat. i will walk through the door and try so hard not to look back, but ultimately still leave it cracked open.
