from one of my favorite books
quoting note1u9d…8m6d“The worst part about being strong is that no one ever asks if you're okay. They see your strength and assume that you are invulnerable to the trials that others might falter under. They forget that strength can be a mask, a shield against the relentless tide of inner turmoil. In truth, the strongest people often bear the greatest burdens in silence, concealing their wounds behind a façade of resilience.”
– The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger
