"Don't you dare say a word", her mind said. She was just about to reveal her secrets, secrets about her dark Life but her mind, like always, restrained her.

Life wasn't a fairy tale for her. It wasn't for so many other people either. But it was "abnormal" for her. she found her life too embarrassing. She was just a kid at that time. She had a completely different life from other normal kids. She had a bunch of friends who she thought were her best friends and they were, indeed. But she had never let them know how "different" her life was.

That was the darkest time of her life when she had no one to rely on. Life felt like a hell. But, to the world, she was pretty normal. That was because she was quite talented at pretending. Keeping too much inside her heart, she was feeling suffocated, so much that she could hardly breathe.

So, on that day when her friend was talking about her problem, she felt like exploding. " When they can tell me, why shouldn't I?", her heart whispered. Like lava, she was about to say that but her mind stopped her. " You shouldn't let it out. They will never understand and it's not gonna solve your problems. Your secrets are safe with you, just hold it in." And she was silent. It was a really a narrow escape

Now, so many years have passed. She is an adult and a very mature person. Life feels a lot better now. Now, thinking back, she thinks she did the right thing. If she had told them, she would always feel scared and embarrassed to meet them again. Although, it had nothing to do with them, but still, her wounds were safe with her. She really had A NARROW ESCAPE...

I agree that it's good to share with people you trust. It eases your burdens. But sometimes, it's great to keep it in. It might feel heavy and suffocated, but it hurts even more when people know your deepest, ugliest wounds and fail to understand!! Even if they are your closest people, they will start to see you in completely different light when they know your life is different than them.
