my biggest cry for help is always asking people to hangout. it's never really just about going out, getting food, or passing time. most of the time, it's me trying to feel less alone without having to explain what i'm carrying inside. it's me hoping that being around someone i love will make things feel a little lighter, even just for a while. because when my mind gets too loud, i don't always know how to say i'm struggling. so i ask to see you instead. and if i keep asking, maybe that's me quietly saying i really need someone right now.
