"Hiding everything is easier than letting go."
But you don't have to let go or move on...
You have to take it with you and let it help you stand tall when you get knocked down. If this feeling has an effect on you that takes up your thoughts and changes your mood so drastically, then it is strong enough to pull you back up and push you forward to achieve your goal, or at least make an attempt to try. Its okay to feel that way, hell, to feel at all. You're allowed to cry, scream, get angry and sad. That's only human nature, and NO ONE can judge you for that. Its better to let it out than hold it in, because when it breaks through your tight grasp as you attempt to hold it in, then it will hurt worse than the many individual physical/mental scars that once healed or is still recovering, to be ripped open all at once.
"Letting people see your vulnerability is a mistake."
Vulnerability is what reminds us that we are NOT indestructible. No matter how much we deny it; how hard we try to convince others, when really, we unknowingly are desperate to convince ourselves. Like it or not, our bodies break like porcelain, whether it be from physical burdens or mental struggles. The slightest touch or shift could cause a small crack in the beginning, but as time goes on, and you tenderly care for it less and less, more small cracks also form. Soon, the damage you've done to yourself crushes you with such heavy pressure, forcing you to push back, believing you can hold it off just a little longer....
Until it inevitably shatters, taking everything you tried protecting with it. You will ruin yourself and forget who you were, who you are, what got you here.... A million pieces scattered and some forgotten, as you try to piece yourself back together... However small, those few lost pieces just so happen to be the most important... You need others to let you know when they notice they're gone. It helps to have others look with you, maybe even make a new piece that fits better than the last, but could never replace its significance. Though, yes, that means showing and telling others your vulnerability, which can be a pain when others use it for attention. To be brave enough to admit you are sensitive or vulnerable is much more admirable, than to be cowardly and refuse to accept that you have any flaws, at all...
You'd be surprised how just some words and a custom made puzzle piece could really help you figure things out and see the people who are willing to help right in front of you.
Mistakes are happy accidents that you learn from, everyday. For every one you make, you're smarter and more prepared to take on the future of unknowns. If confiding in someone was a mistake, then learn from it and make it better, next time, so it can be a happy that you can both smile at.

Quotes by: My awesome friend
Aruka-chan: Hey guys, been a bit, yeah? A lot's been happening, but I'm a senior in high school, two to three months until graduation. Anyway, this was inspired by a friend I know who has it rough, wish them best of luck, pray if you must for them. I won't say who, out of respect for their privacy, if they see this, know that you truly loved and cared for no matter what. I've been through it and still going through it. I'm here, okay?
Luv ya, guys! Bye bye~!
