“Why are you keeping all the pain for yourself? Why don’t you share it with the world and make it as your strength?”

“I don’t want anyone in the world to see my weakness and my pain, I don’t want to open this up with the people around me. They will only listen then they might judge me, but they will never understand. They’ll say comforting words when they see me hurt, not knowing it’ll only make the pain worse. Better keep it for myself alone. Anyways, this is my way of being strong.”
