The Quiet Half. Runner-Up in Pride Under Pressure Challenge.
If you’re reading this, maybe you’re carrying something quiet too. Maybe it’s a part of yourself you didn’t recognize until much later in life. Maybe you’ve built a whole life, a good life, only to realize there’s a version of you still standing in the doorway, waiting to be let in.

Don't Look In The Mirror
The mirror showed a reflection that wasn't my own. I stared in disbelief and horror until I couldn't stand to look anymore. I closed my eyes and shook my head, hoping that when I opened them up again, I'd recognize my reflection. I gripped onto the sink and slowly squinted them open. The face staring back at me was even more shocking this time. I let out a scream and punched the mirror with my fist as hard as I could. "Blaire?", I heard from just outside the door. "One second!", I forced out. I felt a wave of panic rush through my body. How am I going to explain a shattered mirror and bloody hand to anyone? I quickly grabbed a towel and wiped the blood smears off the broken glass. The face was finally gone. I rinsed my hand under the sink, and searched for anything to cover up the battle-wounds. I opened the cabinet underneath the sink. "Thank god", I whispered. There was a small first aid kit with a pack of Star Wars bandaids. I covered my knuckles in them, hid the bloody towel in the back of the cabinet, took a deep breath and stepped out of the bathroom, still trembling.
