Is there something magical about, just like opening up rather than carrying it on your shoulders and leave it wrap itself all around you and being on like some endless loops of like self-hate, anxiety, worry, and then when you like, sort of like, are able to get it out, there's oftentimes that magic of it begins to look differently.
