A World Locked Away

There are those things that happen in life that we never talk about. Dark things. Painful things. Things that we hide away so no one can see. Things that we pretend donít exist. We cover them up with smiles and laughter. We cover up our pain and our heartache. Somehow these things have come to be seen as weaknesses. We have correlated authenticity with rejection. The things that we avoid talking about the most seem to be the most important to talk about. Things like anxiety, depression, addiction, and suicide. These things carry fear, secrecy, and shame and as a result they are not often talked about. In "A World Locked Away" a young woman opens up about her experiences with these things and her journey in working through them.
