I know you’re tired. Tired of people, tired of feelings, tired of carrying everything inside. I know how heavy your heart feels, and how every loss has changed you in ways you never wanted. You weren’t always like this; you were once so happy, laughing, carefree, full of light. And I know you miss that version of yourself.
But listen, you’re not mad, and you’re not broken. You’ve just been through so much that even the smallest words or actions can cut deep. That doesn’t make you weak; it means you’re human, and your heart has been asked to carry too much.
This new version of you might feel unfamiliar and unwanted, but it’s still you — just you who has been through too much.
I know, after all this, how easily it is for people to ask you to stay the same and always be polite. But it’s not you who made yourself this way. It was them, and the situations you were forced to survive.
It hurts when people don’t understand. It hurts even more when they choose not to. That loneliness is real, and I see it. But please don’t stop speaking your truth — even if no one listens, you must continue to listen to yourself.
If the world feels too loud, it’s okay to step back. Protect your heart. Take care of yourself in small ways, enjoy a warm drink, go for a walk, or spend a quiet moment with music. You deserve gentleness. You deserve love. And you deserve people who will not just hear you, but truly understand you.
No matter how lost you feel, you still have yourself. And that’s not nothing. That’s everything.
With love,
Me
