<p>This really is about me. But the thing is, I’m tagged dramatic whenever I discuss it, so I just drown it out and try to keep breathing.</p>

I've learnt not to let my happiness depend on what people think it should be.

The same applies here.

Once I'm not living my life or I'm conscious of it like it's not mine

I speak up.

Wasn't always so.

For years I'll swallow bitter words and blanket myself with "someone has it worse" don't be so dramatic "

The day I realised that someone has it better was the day I made up my mind to have it better. And if the first step to having it better is me speaking up about how I'm drowning. I will.
