Stings

I have been semi-isolating myself from the world, trying to numb myself from all the overwhelming feelings bombarding me.

Is it selfish? Yes. I'm cutting off contact some of my friends because they remind me of a life that I gave up, the source of my internal struggles. They didn't do anything wrong, as a matter of fact, they did exactly the opposite. Encouragements and optimistic conversations were all that they gave but I couldn't handle it.

I want to believe what they say is true but I can't. It still stings and all I can do now is try to escape momentarily and hope that time heals the wounds.
