HEALED IN SILENCE You didn't bleed on people who never cut you. You took the hurt, the confusion, the ache that felt too heavy to hold and instead of letting it harden your heart, you chose to sit with it, breathe through it, and rise above it. That kind of strength is quiet, but it is powerful. It would have been easier to lash out. To let pain turn into anger. To let disappointment become bitterness. But you didn't. You broke the cycle by refusing to become what wounded you.And yes maybe no one saw the nights you cried, or the way you held yourself when it almost broke you. Maybe no one knows the battles you fought in your mind to keep your heart soft. But you know. And that's what matters. Healing is never loud. It's not always pretty. But choosing to heal rather than harm choosing peace rather than revenge that is a kind of strength many will never understand.
