breaking my habit of keeping everything in

i finally told someone about the whole situation between me and a person i cared a lot that i’ve been in no contact with. we had a falling out, and i’ve been carrying it quietly for a while now.

i'm not really the type to open up like that. i usually just keep things to myself, deal with it internally, and move on without saying much. So actually sitting down and talking about it felt unfamiliar, almost uncomfortable at first.

but after i did, something just… felt lighter. like i didn’t have to carry all of it on my own anymore.

i guess ididn’t realize how much it was weighing on me until i said it out loud
