The most difficult aspect of living a life is pretending that everything is fine, enough, or good, even if something causes you anguish or makes you know that it has the potential to break your inner self.

Sometimes we need to scream, shatter, and break until our lungs are clear of all hatred and pain.

All the words you were forced to swallow;
all the misery that caused your blood to freeze;
all the fears that polluted your skin;

when you're done liberating yourself,

please go ahead and be nice again.

Everything should be screamed in silence and—you need someone who listens, someone who will truly understand you.
