The Broken Woman of Silence

Speaking out is always hard it seems, it isn't my natural tendency and was unexpected and silenced in my upbringing. Besides it is always easier to put on the facade that everything is okay, it evokes less questions, stares, and minimizes the likelihood that someone will think you are crazy. That being said I ventured into a counsellors office today to break that silence... and while that silence was broken and I didn't fall apart no earth-shattering moment came to bring me peace either. It makes me wonder why I thought there might be some quick fix to my struggles?
