I am tired of managing the edges of the truth

Dear Delyara, It’s not just the truth itself that costs me now. It’s the edge-management. What can be said. What can’t. How to answer without answering. How to remain natural while internally rerouting. How to keep one hidden room from being opened by an ordinary question. That management becomes its own full-time emotional task after long enough. And the worst part is how normal it can begin to feel. I don’t want to keep living so strategically inside my own life. But some habits of concealment become very refined.
