When pain is so deep, it’s hard to be understood from the brokenness and damage. Hiding from the feelings buried so deep only makes it harder to heal. Being afraid to go through the motions the pain feels is an isolated normal. What are we afraid of when we hide 😶‍🌫️ from feeling? Losing ourselves or not knowing who we are behind the pain, bruises, and damages could be what we flee. Yet, the thought of being fooled again by those who are fake, phony, and pretending to understand are all of what we don’t want to run through again. Not feeling like oneself, and it isn’t easy being expressive to those who aren’t going to understand until they feel the pain. Now silence 🤐 becomes the best answer is how the suffering makes us feel. Keeping everything in is how everyone around makes one feel. It sucks when you open up to someone who you thought would try to comprehend but the person only recreates the pain and suffering.
