I am surrounded by people every day and still feel painfully alone. I wanted freedom so badly, and now that I have it, I do not know what to do with my life. I am 22F, everyone thinks I am strong, but I cry every night after acting normal all day. My parents trust me so much. If they knew the truth about my life right now, everything would break. I keep saying I am fine, but honestly I feel like I am disappearing in front of everyone. I just needed to get this out somewhere.
