You are a very manipulative person and I like when you don't talk to me.

I like your silence.
I prefer it.
I like my own too.
When you ask me "How are you?" I am always thinking I do way better without you talking to me.
And I almost reply with that but I feel too much compassion to.
I love you but I dislike you as a person.
I want you to be safe, healthy, to be happy and have a great life.
But I like to not think of you also and how you hurt me.

It’s wild how love and resentment can sit in the same room and never speak. This reads like someone trying to heal, but bleeding at the same time.

There’s power in silence. But there’s more in understanding. This feels like someone reaching for closure without knowing how to ask for it.

@Madmonk Don't want to talk about what they did/do to upset me anymore with them because it will be twisted and never acknowledged. I just want to stay emotionally detached. I don't even need a closure.

@Miram Not every wound needs words. Some heal best with distance and quiet.

@Madmonk Yes, thank you for thinking of me even though we are strangers. You are good beans.

@Miram if people can’t help people sometimes when it costs nothing to do so, then we are truly lost. Rage against the dying of the light. I’ll not go quietly into that dark night.
