No

Artwork by Kate Ylagan

I will say 'no'. Not because I want to be difficult, but because what you are trying to make me do is not right. It's against my principles and I will not apologize for keeping my values intact.

I will not answer your questions. Not because I am rude, but because what you're asking will only tap wounds which took too long to heal. I worked so hard to get past the pain and you wouldn't be the one to make me relive it.

I will build a wall. Not because I am too proud, but because people tend to cross it and pretend like they know me. I am sick and tired of hearing that this is who I am and who I am supposed to be from people who don't even know how many demons I've battled just to be standing here today.
