Untitled Story

Two

Problem:  I've always been a shy, quiet person. I've never been the one to come up to you first and try to be friends. I never liked talking. I was never a talker whether it was in front of a crowd, to people around me, no one. If I ever tried, I would make my parents do it all. I o my ever really talked to them most of my life. I guess that's why it's so hard to make or keep friends. I also would shut everyone out of my life. There was actually a period of time I went mute. Honestly, that wasn't the best idea. If I stayed that way, I wouldn't be on Honor Society, I wouldn't be passing every class with a 90% or above, I wouldn't be walking with honors in graduation, I wouldn't be as educated as I am, I wouldn't be the writer that I am. I don't know where I would be. I guess I would still be that girl who locked herself in her room listening to Pierce The Veil all day long and drawing...even though I pretty much still do that. But I also do more things now besides drawing out stories or my feelings while listening to Collide With The Sky all day. How did I get out of it??

Solution:  The best thing to do if you're mute(from my experience) is to take baby-steps. I get it, depression gets hard and shit flies to the fan. You get hate on social media or in a text message. You don't wanna use your phone. Same happened to me. I didn't wanna talk to anyone inside my house or outside my house. I just didn't want to. I decided to not use my phone for almost a month. It was all too much. Sometimes a break is good from the Internet. But don't go completely mute. Talk to people inside your house. They did nothing to you. Not only just talk, but talk about the problem. They love and care for you enough to help. Talking about your feelings is always good. When you're comfortable, talk to people outside your house whether it's a neighbor, a friend from school, a teacher, anyone. When you're completely comfortable, try using your phone again. This all happened to me before and now I'm happier with where I am today.
