Hi my lovely readers,
Today I just wanted to write what my heart has been silently thinking for a very long time. Sometimes I sit and wonder how people slowly become okay with things that are clearly hurting them. And I don’t think it is because the pain disappears. I think at some point, they simply get tired.
Tired of explaining themselves.
Tired of repeating their feelings.
Tired of being misunderstood by the same people they once felt safest with.
Maybe they stay quiet because they are scared of losing people they love.
Or maybe they are just scared of losing their own peace of mind while trying to make everyone understand them.
And honestly, I think silence changes a person more than pain ever does.
One thing I want you all to know before reading my words is that these are not stories copied from books, movies, or quotes from the internet. These are very closely lived experiences from my own life. Every thought I write carries a feeling I have personally felt somewhere deep inside myself.
You might think while reading this that I must be much older to think this way, but the truth is I am only in my early 20s.
Strange, right?
How can someone so young feel so emotionally tired sometimes?
But I guess life does not really care about age before teaching lessons. Pain does not wait for someone to grow older before finding them. Some people grow with time, while some grow because life leaves them no other choice.
And maybe that is why some souls become mature too early.
Not because they wanted to,
but because life introduced them to emotions they were never ready for.
Maybe healing is not always about fixing everything. I do not know if life becomes easier with time, but I do hope one day we all find people who listen to understand, not just to reply.
Anyway, that’s all my heart wanted to say today. Maybe these words will reach someone who needed them. Or maybe they were only meant to free a small part of me.
Until next time,
Take care of your heart.
