Translation – I  cry

I had some shitty people in my life. I didn’t handle it as quickly as I wanted so I cried in the hallways and classrooms and stairwells and outside on the sidewalk and in my apartment. I’m trying to tell my old brain that it’s fine. I’m at an age where that range of emotion is unacceptable–you won’t be taken seriously– you keep raging or screaming or crying or swearing you’re too much and no one will listen to your problems. So now I don’t cry when people think I should. I break bones and I forget to cry.
