I grabbed my favorite set of blankets, wrapping them around me as I turned off the lights and settled down into a corner, pulling one blanket over my eyes, to make the darkness darker.
A moment to myself.
A moment to be vulnerable.
They didn't realize how much I had been hurt by their words.
How much I wanted to fight back.
But I'd learned long ago that fighting back only resulted in more pain and more fights.
It was a never ending cycle.
That didn't mean that staying quiet was easier.
That plastering a smile on my face to pretend I wasn't affected.
I was.
But I wouldn't show them that it did.
They wouldn't win.
I rested my head on my knees.
They wouldn't win.
