I'm learning that silence often speaks louder than reactions. Explaining yourself won't always make them understand, and no amount of effort can force someone to value what they don't see. Sometimes peace begins when you stop trying to be heard. Let them walk away if they choose to. You don't need every answer, every closure, or every explanation. Not everything broken needs to be fixed - some things are meant to fade. Trust that life has its own rhythm, and what's meant for you will never require chasing. Breathe. Rest your heart. Go gentle on your soul.
