if you know me as a quiet person, you don't know me at all. the truth is i can be loud with the right people. i can laugh until my stomach hurts, i can talk nonstop about things i love, and i can share stories for hours when i feel safe. it's not that i don't have a voice, it's just that i don't use it for everyone. i choose who i open up to, because not everyone deserves that side of me. the people who really know me, they see the way i light up, the way i act silly, the way i speak freely without holding back. so if you only know the quiet version of me, you've only met a small part. the rest of me is waiting, but not for everyone, only for the ones who earn my trust and my comfort. and when you do, you'll realize i was never actually quiet. i was just waiting for the right space to be heard.
