People think I’m fine, but I’m just good at hiding it I don’t always know how to explain what’s going on inside me. Most times, I act like everything is normal. I laugh, I reply, I show up… but inside, I’m not really present. It’s not that something is always “wrong.” It’s just that my mind gets loud sometimes, and I don’t know how to turn it off. So I stay quiet. I delay replies. I isolate a bit. From the outside, it looks like I don’t care. But the truth is, I care too much, and it becomes overwhelming. I’m not always okay… I’ve just learned how to look like I am.
