I only have these words. This sentence and that one. It is not much, but it’s all I’ve got.

Writing is the only way I can communicate. A text, a note, an email, a post-it, anything. I don’t know how to talk about anything, so I keep writing it down. This way, I don’t have to stand in front of anyone and risk breaking down. When you break down, you’re at your most vulnerable, and letting someone see you like that is dangerous.

I am a fortress,I always have been.
