chuls<p>A heart can be a heavy thing but it's probably better to let the heaviness be, than to try and ignore it. It's no use. The more I awake from my slumber the more I realise how many of us try to be pleasant over being ourselves because we've come to believe we're wrong somehow. Dragging ourselves through faded days like ghosts fearing to be found out.
