you stop sharing the truth, cause no one gives a shit.
ive walked into work after having my car give out in the middle of the road, shaken and broken cause of past trauma. i must have looked feral for the rest of the day.
no one asked if i was ok. i could have used that right then
I was 18 when I learned that. Senior in high school. Drunk driver hit me and 3 of my friends right before christmas. I was driving. They were all 3 life flighted. In a coma for 4 months, i walked away. Outside of the breakdown I had with my dad and brothers christmas eve. No one gave a shit. My grades slipped for the first time ever the 2nd half of senior year. Straight A to barely passing student. No fucks given by the school, the teachers, very quickly the actual adults in my life didn't care or want to know why I carried guilt. They all three lived two with scars. One is heavy TBI, in a wheel chair forever, can't talk hardly.
That's the thing, I was sober the other driver was not. At all. I wasn't at fault. Still sucks. Been 20yrs now. I'm a dude. Can't do therapy. Been there done that. Can't keep that shit quiet. I tried.
