Shhh... in Like No One Is Reading

Sometimes I start to say something (in text, on the internet) and, halfway through my thought, I just stop and erase it because my brain says, “No one, literally no one, gives a single fuck what you have to say. You have nothing of value to contribute so just stop trying.”

It hurts when I talk to myself that way.

It sounds like my mother and it sounds like my exes except it’s all in my voice and I don’t know why.
