I love cheetos

I don’t really know when it got so quiet.

Inside, I mean. Not around me — out there it's always someone yelling, doors slamming, people laughing too loud like they’re afraid of silence. But inside... it’s like someone cut the sound. Left only the static — ringing in my ears and this feeling that something should be there, but it’s not.

I used to try talking.

Tried opening my mouth, telling my mom that I was falling apart. She’d look past me. Always busy — work, reports, her boyfriend’s drama. I was just a chair in the corner — there, but not in the way.

At first I punched the wall. Just to feel something. Then I found a pair of drumsticks in my brother’s old drawer — he used to talk about starting a band before he left. Then... he just vanished. But the sticks stayed.

I remember sitting at the beat-up kit in the school music room — hands shaking like hell.

First hit — and something woke up.

It was like, for the first time, I said something. Not with words, but still. Loud and clear.

Now I play when it’s unbearable. When I don’t want to see anyone. When my head is echoing with that thought — that all of this means nothing — I go to the rehearsal room. And I drown it out. Louder. Harder. Until the noise outside matches the noise inside.

I've been doing a comic strip with my characters for a couple of weeks. I will be grateful if you put a reaction❤️
