I couldn't heal because I kept pretending I wasn't hurt


Hi! I have a secret that I will spoil today. I am a liar. Sometimes I lie and I say I was busy. Well, I was busy but not in a way most people understand. I was busy taking deeper, and slower breaths. I was busy calming a racing heart. I was busy staring at walls. I was busy crying while eating my favorite ice cream. I was busy exercising. I was busy working on myself. I was busy watching Sponge Bob. I was busy doing nothing. I was busy doing everything. Honestly, at this point, I am not sure if I was busy. Because my busy seems stupid to many people.

         A "busy" can be anything, and everything because life is a maze full of great and terrible surprises. You never know if it will make your life better, or even worse. You can never truly know if it will heal some of these deep scars in your heart, or if it will make it break real hard. The main problem with this maze is that it varies from one to another. Some people have a well explained and detailed map as a bonus, as a result, they haven't had any serious issues with their lives. They are in safe hands that will never give up on them. Others are put in the darkest part of this maze, for no reason. Life decided that this person should learn everything the hard way. That this creature doesn't deserve to be happy since day one of their lives. The major issue with this is that no one from the easier mazes understands. No one knows why they can't sleep at night because they are overwhelmed. No one has a single idea why they are slowly fading away because they are too scared to eat. No one understands why they are always crying, why they are always depressed.No one understands because no one feels the pain of being constantly controlled by these thoughts in your head telling you that you are worthless.

        The only way to surrender this twisted maze is to move its walls. No matter how heavy they are. No matter how much time it will take. By moving the walls you are changing the maze. Or, in other words, you are customizing your life to fit your needs and desires. However, I personally don't believe that doing just that is enough. You should modify your maze, and stack all your fails. When you fail like a billion times, your stack will be tall enough to show you where the exit of your twisted maze is.  

    Only then, your stupid busy will become an incredible achievement that will change the world!
