Silence Speaks Louder Than Words

The truth is, when something truly hurts, it doesn’t always come out in tears or anger—it comes out in silence.

💭 You withdraw.
💭 You replay the moment over and over.
💭 You sit with the weight of emotions too heavy to put into words.

Psychologists call this the "freeze response"—when pain is so deep, your brain protects you by shutting down instead of reacting. But healing begins when you give yourself permission to process, to feel, and eventually, to let go.

If you're in that quiet place right now, know this: Your silence doesn’t mean you're weak—it means you're healing in your own way. Take your time. Your voice will return when you're ready. 💙
