The human body is composed of a network of systems that are ultimately one in function - when one part falters, the rest responds in kind. Anxiety churns your stomach, shame burns across your cheeks, and love... tightens around the chest.
Hurt follows the same logic. It starts with stiffening your shoulders, parching your throat, and making your eyes sting. Then, it constricts you, bit by bit, until nothing is left but hollowness. When its weight becomes unbearable, it makes you want to explode and flee to a different place.
But the thing is, hurt does not care about geography. No matter how hard you shake it off, it will only cling harder until it fully wraps itself around you.
If hurt can follow you to the far edges of the world, then the real question is: if we hurt everywhere, where do you go when there is nowhere to escape?
