Some storms don’t come from outside. They start quietly inside houses, inside expectations, inside silence of oneself. And often, it’s not the shouting that breaks a person. It’s the emptiness around them when support should have been there.
Strength doesn’t always need a loud voice. Sometimes, it’s just knowing what’s right. Learning rights. Understanding what systems are built to protect, and which traditions are meant to control. Not all beliefs deserve to be carried forward especially the ones that don’t hold space for a full or happy or even peaceful life.
When a life is asked to shrink, just to fit someone else’s story, it’s okay to walk away from that version of life. Not everyone will understand. Some will say too much strength is arrogance. That’s alright. Approval isn’t the goal. Stability is. Staying alive is.
Support is not a favour. It’s a necessity. A few good friends, a safe circle, one person who listens that can change everything. And if no one shows up? Begin the work alone or start to find. Bit by bit, the right people appear.
Courage doesn’t come easy. Some days, even breathing feels like a battle. But still choosing life, even with all its weight, is the braver thing to do. Sometimes, it comes from finding different ways to fight, or different battles worth fighting, or moments of rest between the fighting.
Some systems do favour safety. Even strangers (use AI too) willing to speak up, they exist. The first step is knowing they do. The second is knowing this that no one else gets to decide how far a life can grow.
Even the hardest lives have soft tomorrows! Trust Thyself !
Cheers!
