"My brain is a cage at night. I can't get away from the thoughts when I am alone. Life is catching up no matter how hard I try to take it slow. My dad always said stress will kill you faster then a fake smile. Even if it's true even a smile needs a break or it'll hurt you. How am I suppose to grow if I am still being yanked on a leash. The parents say we'll never be ready or know what to do when it's time to leave. I say they lied to me, I'm more prepared then them and that's why they feed the lies. Thinking maybe if we keep them close they can be safe. It hurts more being held on to then let go of. I feel so out of touch even with people my own age, like I'm watching through a window. Though of source it's not like this everyday, but it can feel pretty close to that. Maybe the reason we keep getting told we are all too sensitive is because we were conditioned to. Think about, all we heard was 'do it yourself', 'do better next time', 'why are you failing, do I have to sit here to watch you'. So many things were nailed into our heads. So we all have this brick wall of feeling like if we aren't a certain way or act a certain way. That it's wrong, when it's not at all. I believe we all have something to overcome. Break those cycles, try things, be part of things. I know not everyday or night will be the same. I'm glad I have my people to help along the way. If you don't think you do, believe me you do. I'll be here for you." - Author
