The things you don’t say don’t just disappear.
They sit in your chest.
They spin in your head.
They show up as overthinking.
As a random irritation.
As “I’m fine” when you’re anything but fine.
Bottling it up doesn’t make you strong.
It just makes it heavier.
You don’t have to tell everyone everything.
But you do need somewhere safe to let it out.
A friend.
A parent.
A coach.
A journal.
A voice note you never send.
Your feelings aren’t dramatic.
They’re information.
Let it out before it builds up.
You’re not meant to carry it alone.
