There was a time when even the smallest words could shatter me. A passing comment, a cold tone, or a single harsh message—I'd carry it all, replay it in my head, and let it shape my mood, my day, sometimes even my worth.
But life, in its own way..... teaches us. Sometimes through love, often through loss. Through people who come and go. Through promises broken, and days when you pick yourself up simply because there’s no one else will..
I didn’t distract myself from it. I let it sting. I journaled. I cried... I walked.. ..I wrote letters I never sent. And slowly, the pain taught me things even healing couldn't
One day, someone abused me—sharp, mean words aimed right at me. And I didn’t flinch. I didn’t cry. I didn’t even react. I just kept going. Not because I didn’t feel it, but because i didn’t own it anymore...
I realized I was no longer the person I once was."
learned that silence can be a superpower
Not every opinion needed my energy. Not every battle deserved my presence
I used to exhaust myself explaining my heart to people who never really listened..now I m fine with being misunderstood
I don’t need outside validation like I used to. I carry home within me now.

And that silence made me wonder—
I’ve asked myself this...have I finally become emotionally resilient? Or have I simply gone numb?

But numbness feels like giving up. And I haven’t given up on feeling. I’ve just stopped letting it break me.
I’m not heartless. I’ve just grown a thicker skin around a soft heart.
And maybe that’s what emotional resilience really is...
"If you’re in the thick of it, just keep going. Resilience isn't built in peace—it’s built in chaos, in heartbreak, in small quiet wins ywe don’t even notice at first."
Cheers and peace!!
