I Am Not As Strong As You Think I Am

I've always been the strong one out of my friend group, I was the one that everyone came to for advice because it seemed like almost nothing bothered me, I handled every situation very calmly.

Thing is, that's just the outside. I'm a great liar, even to myself. For the vast majority of my life I made it so that on the outside everything was fine, and I believed that. All throughout middle school and high school I believed that I was fine most of the time. Now, that just isn't the case anymore.

I'm a mess on the inside, but I'll just take it day by day like I always have. Maybe one day things will go back to the way they used to be.
