one thing my friends don't seem to understand is that feeling small makes me feel safe. i will purposely curl up into a ball and shove myself into a corner or under a desk for comfort. and it may not be more physically comfortable, but there is a sort of calm and mental stability that it brings me. it is a way of shrinking myself until i am so small that my problems can't touch me.

and yet, they can still make me feel big - and in a way that i enjoy. when they lean on my chest, wrap my arms around them, my problems become small.
