"If you see me and notice my eyes are glazed over, don’t be alarmed. I am taking care of myself the best way I can right now and my methods may not be your cup of tea. My smiles are frozen and forced, my laughs are fake and believe me when I tell you I don’t remember what we just spoke about a day ago. I’m not tuning you out-I’m not ready to let anyone in without breaking down and making things worse. I’m resilient; but right now I just want to not feel."
