i think i have this thing where if there's a problem with me,

i won't say it aloud because maybe then it'll go away.

if i say, "my stomach hurts,"

then the problem's out; it's there. it's public.

whereas if i keep quiet,

the pain could possibly go away on its own and nobody even has to know i was in pain.

the issue with this is that my problems are far bigger than a stomachache.
