    It will. I’m sorry. When I was on the phone, I was made to smile because it changes your voice. I learned to stab myself in the thigh with paperclips so I could feel even when I couldn’t because the smile had stolen thought from me. Even now, when I smile, a tiny part of me screams into darkness because the pain is real. It’s real.
