đ The Things We Never Say
Why the Silent Spaces Between Us Hurt More Than Any Goodbye
There are words we never say out loudâ
Not because they arenât real,
But because weâre scared theyâll change everything.
We hold back the pain.
We swallow our needs.
We pretend it doesnât matterâuntil it does.
And suddenly,
the love that once felt infinite
becomes something we tiptoe around.
Like a crack in the glass we refuse to admit is growing.
đ Love Isnât Lost in FightsâItâs Lost in Silence
People often think love dies in explosive momentsâ
But more often,
it dies quietly.
In the things we donât say.
In the way we stop reaching for each other.
In the way we avoid the hard conversations
because we donât want to seem dramatic, needy, or âtoo much.â
But silence is its own kind of storm.
It chips away at the bond.
It creates a distance that no amount of âIâm fineâ can fix.
And before we know it, weâre lying beside someone
who feels miles away.
đȘ The Fear Behind Our Quiet
We donât speak up because weâre afraid:
Afraid of being misunderstood.
Afraid of pushing them away.
Afraid of confirming our worst fear:
That maybe they stopped caring a long time ago.
So we shrink.
We dim our needs.
We become easier to loveâ
or at least, we try.
But in that trying,
we lose the very essence of who we are.
đ„ Love Requires RiskâAnd Truth
Real love isnât safe.
Itâs raw.
Itâs honest.
Itâs messy and inconvenient and uncomfortable.
But itâs also the kind of love that sits with you in discomfort.
It doesnât run when you cry.
It doesnât mock your feelings.
It doesnât go silent when youâre asking to be heard.
If your love canât hold space for your truth,
is it really love?
đŹ Say the Thing Youâre Afraid to Say
Say it before the silence becomes permanent.
Before the love becomes memory.
Before the âusâ turns into âwhat could have been.â
Say:
"I feel unseen."
"I need more presence."
"I miss the way we used to laugh together."
"I donât feel safe in this love anymore."
Say it for the sake of your peace.
Say it even if your voice trembles.
Say it even if they donât know how to hold it yet.
Because your silence won't protect you.
But your voice might set you free.
âš You Deserve Love Thatâs Gentle and Loud in All the Right Ways
You deserve a love that looks you in the eyes and stays.
A love that makes you feel chosen on both your best and worst days.
A love that listens. A love that shows up.
A love that grows with you, not around you.
So if youâre lying next to someone and feeling lonelier than everâ
This is your sign:
You donât have to stay just because they say they love you.
Love should feel like a shelter, not a storm.
Like home, not exile.
Like peace, not confusion.
đż You Deserve a Love That Listens
You deserve love that asks,
"What are you not saying?"
"You seem distantâwhatâs going on?"
"How can I meet you where you are?"
Love isnât just about romance and roses.
Itâs about choosing each other,
especially when things get uncomfortable.
Donât let the fear of being too much
keep you from asking for enough.
