Feel better Quote by Jerhia
“People think they know you. They think they know how youre handling a situation. But the truth is, no one knows. No one knows what happens after you leave them, when youre lying in bed or sitting over your breakfast alone and all you want to do is cry or scream. They dont know whats going on inside your head the mind-numbing cocktail of anger and sadness and guilt. This isnt their fault. They just dont know. And so they pretend and they say youre doing great when youre really not. And this makes everyone feel better. Everybody but you.”
