Some nights, you don't need noise.
Your silence screams enough.
Ever had that feeling where your mind is racing, but your body’s too tired to chase it?
Where you want to scream, but your voice doesn't leave the throat, because who’s even listening anymore?
There’s a version of me that smiles in public, laughs at jokes, and posts random stories.
But the real me?
He sits alone some nights, scrolling through old photos, rereading messages that once felt like forever.
People always say, “Move on.”
But they never talk about how.
They don’t explain what to do with memories that hit you like flashbacks at 2 AM.
Or why certain goodbyes still sting after years.
I’ve learned that healing doesn’t mean forgetting.
It means growing stronger while carrying pieces of the past with you, like battle scars. Like poetry. Like proof.
And if you're reading this tonight, maybe you're like me.
Maybe you're also learning how to be okay without being fully okay.
So here's a virtual hug,
To the overthinkers. The forgivers. The quiet warriors.
We’re doing better than we give ourselves credit for.
Keep going.
Even if it’s just one small breath at a time.
