The Thing You Couldn't Tell Them
There's something going on with you — a worry, a struggle, something about who you are or what you're going through — and you haven't told your parents. Not because they're unkind. You're just scared. Scared they'll be disappointed, or won't understand, or will make it a bigger deal than you can handle right now. So you carry it alone, and the carrying is getting heavy. Every normal conversation has this gap in it where the real thing should be. You love them, and you're keeping a part of yourself hidden from them, and you can't tell anymore whether you're protecting yourself, protecting them, or just stuck.
Keep the conversation going.
