why we tell stories
because it's hard to be seen when you're quiet.
because words seem easier than leaning in to show you something tangible.
because some days i wake up too full and i need to let everything out so i can have breakfast, maybe coffee and move on with my day, the business of existing, the boring stuff, emails and organizing and people you pretend to like.
because if i don't then no one will know that i am broken and i need you to see this, so you understand why i do anything or why i love the things i love.
because if i don't then no one else will.
