Of course, my family would have gladly paid the phone bill, but my distorted judgment told me I did not deserve to spend money on myself, or to have others spend money on me. Besides, nothing I had to say was worth hearing, or so said my mind. It’s wrong to talk. Talking means you have something to say. I have nothing to say. I am nobody, a nothing. Talking takes up space and time. You don’t deserve to talk. Keep quiet.
