> repressing
hiding the pain doesn't make it go away like this last year and a half has had some of the most painful experiences of my life, and it sucks, but at least i'm actually living now. I EXIST which i never did before. its a lot to deal with and pretty much always overwhelming, but i couldn't deal with being a ghost anymore. i had to walk through the fire and step out of the closet and into the light, which hurt my eyes. i'm not strong and its still reallt bright and loud out
