i don't have the energy to explain how i feel anymore. i'd rather just stop talking. i used to try so hard to make people understand me, to put my feelings into words, to fix things before they fall apart. but it gets tiring when it feels like i'm the only one trying. not everything needs to be explained over and over again. sometimes silence says enough. sometimes walking away is easier than begging to be heard. so i'm learning to save my energy for people who truly listen without me repeating myself, and who care enough to understand.
