S/he Screams in Silence

“It’s like going your whole life with your fly unzipped. You don’t notice it and neither does anyone else. But then one day, you finally see that it’s open, and you don’t know whether to reach down in front of everyone and fix it or if that would only draw attention to a problem that’s only a problem for anyone else if it’s visible. Until that decisive moment, the most you can do is glance at it every once in a while in the hopes that it’ll magically zip itself. The thing is it doesn’t.”
