The invisibility and periodicity of my disorder, along with how often I border on normalcy, allows them to evade my need for their understanding. And because our most enduring family heirloom is avoidance and denial of pain and suffering, I don’t need much prompting to shut myself down in their presence. ↗
Loneliness is designed to help you discover who you are…and to stop looking outside yourself for your worth. ↗
