It’s getting harder to pretend everything is okay. People start to notice the bags under your eyes and that you’re not eating properly and that you never really laugh or smile for real anymore. You tell them you’re okay, but you can’t even look them in the eye as you say it. You’re not okay. You’re so not okay and you’re just so tired of pretending.
You know what’s sadder than being sad? When you know you’re feeling sad but you can’t cry. You know you’re angry but you can’t feel anger. You feel lost yet so suffocated. You’re hungry yet you don’t have the appetite. When you do, you feel sick. But if you don’t, you get sick. Love is free but everyone is broke.
