I love you in waves,
and lately,
everyday has been a hurricane.
I wanted to stay locked away from the pain and destruction. I didn’t want to be strong. I didn’t want to be the ‘smart girl’. I was so very tired. I just wanted it all to be over.
I became good at pretending. I became so good that after a while the lines blurred between my truth and fiction. And sometimes, when I did a really good job of pretending, I even fooled myself.
no’
might make them angry
but
it will make you free.
Nayyirah Waheed, If No One Has Ever Told You, Your Freedom is More Important Than Their Anger
