just because someone carries it well doesn't mean it isn't heavy. sometimes people hide it so well that you would never guess they are hurting inside, unless they tell you and let you feel the weight yourself. you will never know the silent battles they fought when no one was watching, the nights they stayed awake with thoughts too heavy for sleep, or the tears they quietly wiped away just so no one would notice. they may smile, laugh, and act strong, but deep down they might be breaking in ways you cannot see. sometimes the ones who seem strong on the outside are the ones who cry in silence. just because someone carries it well doesn't mean the pain is not there, so please always choose to be kind. your kindness might be the little light they needed that day, and the reason they keep going.
