Even when it feels like no one sees your effort, it still matters. Quiet strength is still strength, and small steps are still progress. Don't give up--you're getting somewhere, even if it doesn't feel like it yet. 🤍
There are things you wouldn't know unless you lived in me. But if you were me, you wouldn't want to keep living.
I don't say these things out loud. People don't see the silence that eats at me when I'm alone. They don't see how heavy it feels just to exist.
This isn't a story with answers. It's just the truth, the part of me I never let anyone else touch.
The part of me I let you touch.
