They keep on thinking that I have finally gotten over the pain. They thought I am already doing fine just because I don't talk about the things that hurt me most. But some things are just better left unspoken and not talking about it doesn't mean you have gotten over it. It's just too painful to unearth some memories. And most of the times, you hurt in silence.

People need to understand that everyone of us has their own way of getting through stuff. Some asks help from their friends. Some chooses to just talk about it until it will numb them. And some forces their mind to forget. And then there's me who chooses to keep it to myself because I don't want to burden anyone. I don't want to drag them in my own mess.

And of course it hurts. It still hurts. I don't talk about stuff that caused me pain not because I have forgotten about them but because I clearly, clearly remember everything. And I don't want my mouth to be the trigger of uncovering some forced forgotten memories. I'm too weak for that. I'm too scared for that.

Call me a coward, I don't care. I just honestly think that it's okay to be scared about things that hurts you.🖤
