Who falls asleep during storms and rain? I cant. Its when I think the most. With every crash of thunder and flash of lightning, I try to drown out the fear of the two coexisting elements. I wonder if this is the mechanism I use to stay emotionally detached. Everyone else is afraid, so I have to be the anchor. Does anyone else feel the need to be the anchor within their group or family or circle? If they cry and you’re crying also, who’s there to tell them that things will be okay? You cant crack. You have to be everyone’s glue. If you crack, everything remains broken. You have to remain the strongest. You have to be everyone’s shoulder. Pick up the world and pray that it doesn’t break you in half. Does anyone else live this way? I do.
