“Mental pain is less dramatic than physical pain but it’s more common and also more difficult to bear. The frequent attempt to conceal mental pain increases the burden. It is easier to say “My tooth is aching” than to say “My heart is broken.””— C.S. Lewis
“Life went on without you. Of course, it did. Of course, it does. It was just an ending, not the end.”— Lang Leav
i’ve learned
to keep the past
in boxes.
i let them pile up
in my mind,
memories too painful
to sift through,
but too sacred
to throw out.
most of the boxes
are filled with you.

This is always about vulnerability.]](https://64.media.tumblr.com/aba6b0cf1420cc697149bf5ba184771e/6dc4b8092b7bb81d-19/s500x750/0da93bfbfe2bb604ef948d7d5eaf5449dc5676ad.jpg)
